The Wholeness of a Broken Heart

A broken heart has no wings to fly
It’s tied down by the sorrows
that you cry
Has no strength, can’t go on with life
But a broken heart can be filled with light

And I want to be complete
but sometimes I’m so Empty
All I need is a dream
and I’ll be free

Chorus - There’s nothing as whole as a broken heart
Turn to G-d in prayer as the pain starts
Ha'rofai l'sheburay lev
He will hear your voice and heal your heart again

A stained soul that’s shattered by mist
You’re unaware of the beauty it’s missed
Lost in a world where it can’t be seen
But a stained soul can always be cleaned

And I want to be...

There’s nothing as whole as a broken heart
Turn to G-d in prayer as the pain starts
V'yamul et levavchem
He will hear your voice and heal your heart again

And I’m clinging desperately to You
My heart is breaking in two
and suddenly I understand
Ki col levavos doresh HaShem
You see into me, I’m transparent as can be
No facade to hide my desires
You know my being
Parts I hide from seeing
Please yachad lavev l'yirah shimecha
Make one my heart to fear Your Name
I don’t want to stay the same
I don’t want to stay the Same!

Chorus I and II
Hu yishema colchen v'rofai levavchen ode pam
He will hear your voice and heal your heart again


NOTE: Please forgive me for my poor transliteration. I did my best but it's hard to convey the same sounds, but hey, the italics made it look special.
