in the broken (c) 2009 elizabeth wills

i come here
to bare you my soul
to make this thing whole
i come here

i run home
to find my way back
to the love that i lack
i run home

and there is peace in the broken
there's peace in the fall
but if your heart is open
it's not empty at all

and the sweetest surrender
that i have ever known
or that i can remember
i was standing here alone
but i was not alone, no no

i turn away
just to prove that i can fight
with all my stupid might
i turn away

so i say to you
that love will abide
if you do not hide your heart
i say to you

and there is peace in the broken
there's peace in the fall
but if your heart is open
it's not empty at all

and the sweetest surrender
that i have ever known
or that i can remember
i was standing here alone
but i was not alone, no no.

i come here
to bare you my soul
to make this thing whole
i come here . . .

i wish it were possible to post a link to this song. it has been stuck in my head for weeks and is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard in my life. if you ever get the chance to buy elizabeth's CD "love comes home," do yourself the favor
