Fractured, Not Broken

Holding my old guitar in my hand tonight Sunset fading, giving way to night Crack in the neck from a long-gone fall Still got a voice after all these years and all Firelight dancing on weathered wood Singing old songs like I always would Smoke climb slow where the evening lies Chasing the first stars into the sky Wind come soft through the pine tree line Feeding the flame one breath at a time Everybody quiet, nobody speaks Listening to something words can't reach Fractured, not broken Still got a song to sing Fractured, not broken Still hear di nightbird sing Fire keep dancing Smoke keep rolling high Fractured, not broken Still reaching for di sky Looking around at the faces here Some carry laughter, some carry years Some got scars they never explain Some learned to smile while carrying pain Crimson light on every face Fire make strangers share the same space Nobody asking where you've been Tonight we just let the healing begin Embers breathing with the wind again Bright for a moment, then fading thin Just like people through joy and sorrow Burning a little brighter tomorrow (repeat) Maybe the guitar and us ain't so different Both been cracked by the weight we've been given Both got mended by patient hands Both still standing where we stand Tongues of fire reaching high tonight Never quite touching the stars in sight But reaching anyway... Reaching anyway... Final Chorus Fractured, not broken Still got a song to sing Fractured, not broken Still hear di nightbird sing Fire keep dancing Smoke keep rolling high Fractured, not broken Still reaching for di sky Crack inna di wood... Music still flow... Scar pon di heart... Good vibes still grow... Fractured... Not broken...
