About We Are Broken

"We Are Broken" is the ninth track off of "Riot!" and is a prayer to God where Hayley asks to be made whole again. Being broken is common Christian imagery for being dirtied by sin and Jesus comes to make people whole. The lines “everyone will have a choice” and “arms like towers” further this because it is a conscious choice to leave your life of sin to follow God and in many contemporary Christian music, being wrapped in the arms of God is an often used phrase for comfort and safety in the love of God. .

We Are Broken Lyrics

[00:14.58] I am outside
[00:18.27] And I've been waiting for the sun
[00:21.56] With my wide eyes
[00:25.07] I've seen worlds that don't belong
[00:28.06] My mouth is dry
[00:31.42] With words I cannot verbalize
[00:35.01] Tell me why? we live like this
[00:41.85] Keep me safe inside
[00:45.54] Your arms like towers
[00:48.58] Tower over me, yeah
[00:55.25] 'Cause we are broken
[00:58.79] What must we do to restore
[01:01.92] Our innocence
[01:05.58] And all the promise we adored?
[01:08.83] Give us life again
[01:12.39] 'Cause we just wanna be whole
[01:19.76] Lock the doors
[01:22.63] 'Cause I'd like to capture this voice
[01:25.97] It came to me tonight
[01:29.67] So everyone will have a choice
[01:32.75] And under red lights
[01:36.16] I'll show myself it wasn't forged
[01:39.36] We're at war? we live like this
[01:46.65] Keep me safe inside
[01:50.06] Your arms like towers
[01:53.12] Tower over me
[01:59.89] 'Cause we are broken
[02:03.43] What must we do to restore
[02:06.95] Our innocence
[02:10.24] And all the promise we adored?
[02:13.78] Give us life again
[02:17.03] 'Cause we just wanna be whole
[02:24.43]
[02:37.72] Tower over me
[02:44.34] Tower over me
[02:52.25]
[02:54.40] And I'll take the truth at any cost
[02:57.88] 'Cause we are broken
[03:01.27] What must we do to restore
[03:04.62] Our innocence
[03:08.33] And all the promise we adored?
[03:11.52] Give us life again
[03:15.01] 'Cause we just wanna be whole
[03:20.35]
