Lyrics

A man with a broken back can still see the ocean
A blind man can listen to the waves
A man without hearing can still see his daughter grow
A man with a full heart needs nothing
A body is temporary and will eventually break
Oh
A soul filled with love will never bend

It's not hard for me to see today
It's hard to think I've seen any other way
It's hard to even be the way I used to be
I'm blessed and broken, yeah
Blessed and broken, yeah

Now turn off the television and put your phone away
Shut out the selfish world on the screen
Take a step outside and
Close your eyes and take a breath
Oh
Now open your ribs and let your heart free

It's not hard for me to see today
It's hard to think I've seen any other way
It's hard to even be the way I used to be
I'm blessed and broken, yeah
Blessed and broken, yeah

Oh, I feel alive again
Feeling weightless in this skin
Looking back at that young kid
I wanna tell him you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again

It's time to be the man behind the curtain
It's time to be
The man you seek
A broken body means my soul is thirsty
It's time to be
The man in me
It's time to be the man behind the curtain
It's time to be
That man you seek
A broken body means my soul is thirsty
It's time to be
The man in me
