Jenny's got more month than she's got money
Works three jobs; she's barely getting by
Bob got a word his mom's been told it's cancer
So many questions, and all of them ask why
We're living in a broken world
A broken world won't give you any answers
Everything is upside down
Wrong is right and right is wrong
But not for long, no, not for long
This broken world is cradled by a savior
And nothing here can take him by surprise
Someday all this hurting will be over
And every tears been wiped away and dried
But for now, we're living in a broken world
But not for long, no, not for long
Mama spends her wakin' hours prayin'
Her child's done gone left everything behind
Daddy's getting tired, his faith is fadin'
You can't get water from a well that's runnin' dry
We're living in a broken world
And a broken world won't give you any answers
Everything is upside down
Wrong is right and right is wrong
But not for long, no, not for long
This broken world is cradled by a savior
And nothing here can take him by surprise
Someday all this hurting will be over
And every tears been wiped away and dried
But for now, we're living in a broken world
But not for long, no, not for long
Yeah, yeah
This broken world is cradled by a savior
And nothing here can take him by surprise
Someday all this hurting will be over
And every tears been wiped away and dried
But for now, we're living in a broken world
But not for long, no, not for long
But for now, we're living in a broken world
But not for long, no, not for long
