Beautiful Broken World

Warren Barfield

Wonderfully arrayed on a bright Autumn day

The leaves sets the trees ablaze

I'm sitting here beneath

This decaying canopy

Sunlight sifting through the shade

It won't be long

Until they're gone away

That's the price we pay



Chorus:

In this beautiful broken world

We laugh and then we cry

There's a wonderful pain and joy

In death and in life yeah yeah (yeah this is life)

Oh, we are living in this beautiful broken world

Yeah yeah yeah…



God bless the day

When little Suzy came

Born on a morning in May

And no one knows why time hurries by

And youth makes room for age

I cherish those years

That she was here with us

We should laugh and love



Bridge:

Will the day still be as sweet

If it had no end

If it never knew an enemy

Could you understand

The word of a friend
