What Helped Me Tonight

I just wanted to share the lyrics to this song by Cheri Call. I was listening without totally listening but somehow the words got through to me.

Only the Brokenhearted
(Cherie Call)

Who can hear your sorrow?
Who can listen right?
Who can tell you stars shine through
The darkest and the longest lonely night?
Only the brokenhearted can
Who can feel the fire?
Who can taste the rain?
Who can laugh till tears fall?
Who can know your pain and take your hand?
Only the brokenhearted can

How are you gonna take a stand?
How are you gonna hear the band?
How are you gonna love the sunlight
If those precious summer days never had to end
You have to learn like only the brokenhearted can

Broken hearts are deeper;
They've been open wide
And the tears become containers
To hold more love inside
And truly feel what only the brokenhearted can
If you need a shoulder, bow your head and pray
He'll wrap you like a blanket
With love to face the day
Because He knows like only the brokenhearted can

How are you gonna comprehend
Love that has no end?
Why'd you ever have to leave Eden
If you were never truly meant to understand?
You had to live like only the brokenhearted can

Who can love you deepest?
Who can hold you tight?
Who can tell you stars shine
Through the darkest lonely night?
You know I can
Like only the brokenhearted can
The brokenhearted can
The brokenhearted can
