Little Broken Soul


Open your eyes

And see the truth that you are blind to

Open your eyes

See all the joys that you have missed

Open your eyes

See all the nights I searched to find you

Open your eyes

And see the sun dawn through the mists


Come back, come back,

Come back, little broken soul on the mend

Come back, come back

To me, child, and I will defend


Come back, come back

Do not be afraid

Come back to me, my child

You are not betrayed


Open your eyes

And see the truth that you are blind to

Open your eyes

See all the joys that you have missed

Open your eyes

See all the nights I searched to find you

Open your eyes

And see the sun dawn through the mists


Come back, come back

Little broken soul on the mend

Come back, come back

To me, child, and I will defend


Come back, come back

Do not be afraid

Come back to me, my child

You are not betrayed


Come back to me, child

Place your life in my hands

Come back, place your trust in me

And know that I have plans

          for you

Tell me of your dreams

Lead me to your streams of thought

Oh, child

Do not be distraught


Come here, come here

Little broken soul on the mend

Come here, come here

To me, child, and I will defend


Come here

Do not be afraid

Come here to me, my child

You are not betrayed


Come back to me, my child

Rest your soul and pray
