Nobody's born with a broken heart Nobody's born with a broken heart Once there was a restless father Who walked out on his one and only son And now he's saving up to buy a guitar So he can write his own redemption song Lonely is the wayward mother, she says "I swear I'm gonna get it right one of these days" But once you let somebody break you down You just get used to feeling that way But I say Nobody's born with a broken heart Nobody's born with a broken heart There's a young man living under the freeway He sleeps in any warm place he can find And he's still looking for the strangers Who gave him green eyes and a restless smile
He spends his days on Beggars' Corner As the people toss their coins and move along One day a strange man with a guitar sat beside him Closed his green eyes and played the boy a song Hey hey Nobody's born with a broken heart Nobody's born with a broken heart I've met so many people Chained to circumstance And they're not asking for a miracle All they want is a second chance Sing hallelujah Sing any song you wanna hear Sing a song of redemption Sing away, sing away your fears Nobody's born with a broken heart Nobody's born with a broken heart
