"Broken Hearted People" lyrics

Like a one-wing dove in a catbird rain
All the push and shove, all the hurt and pain
There's people out here dying
These streets are filled with rage
Why are people dying
Dying for some change?

With a little love we can turn this page
We can stand in peace, or take a knee and pray
Politicians lying
Preaching from their scripts
Lord knows I'm out here trying
They're just lying through their lips

I am broken-hearted, people
But I won't fold under the pressure
We're all broken-hearted people
But tonight we stand together
Only love can make things better
'Cause broken hearts don't last forever
Oh, no

You can hide from the truth, or you can show your face
Stay long in the tooth, or try and change your ways
I can feel a new day dawning
No more killing in cold blood
Together we are stronger, and we can conquer hate with love
Stomp your hate with love

I am broken-hearted, people
But I won't fold under the pressure
We're all broken-hearted people
But tonight we stand together, yeah
Only love can make things better
'Cause broken hearts don't last forever

So let's try to make things better
'Cause broken hearts don't
No, broken hearts don't
'Cause broken hearts don't last forever
