Those Broken Things

 

Way back when I was just a kid
My granddad took me to the Pull n’ Pick, Found an old bike there, needed fixin’
Had a rusted chain, the brakes were missin’

Verse:
As we loaded it in the back of his truck
He said ‘some folks might call it junk
But with a lick of paint and a bolt or two, You’ll have something just as good as new’

Chorus:
He said ‘Just because it’s broken, That don’t mean it ain’t no good’ Just because it don’t look,
The way you think it should Don’t mean it ain’t worth savin’ Cos honey you might just find, Sometimes those broken things Can breathe a second life Sometimes those broken things, Are the sweetest surprise

Verse:
A few years down the road,
I met a boy and I took him home
Granddad said ‘girl what am I missin’?
That boy ain’t nothing, what are ya thinkin’?’

Verse:
‘Yeah he drives an old hand me down Grew up without his mumma round This ring was all he could afford
But I’ve never felt more adored, Remember what you said before.’

Chorus
Yeah ‘Just because it’s broken,

That don’t mean it ain’t no good Just because it don’t look,
the way you think it should Don’t mean it ain’t worth savin’ Cos honey you might just find Sometimes those broken things Can breathe a second life Sometimes those broken things, Are the sweetest surprise’

Bridge:
And now I’m busy raising
My own family,
I still see the wisdom
In the words he said to me
Those cracks can show the beauty That some folks never see
And for all those broken things That make my life so sweet
I send a prayer to Heaven
To thank my granddaddy

Chorus:
He taught me ‘Just because it’s broken, That don’t mean it ain’t no good’
Just because it don’t look,
the way you think it should
Don’t mean it ain’t worth savin’
cos honey you might just find, Sometimes those broken things
Can breathe a second life
Sometimes those broken things,
Are the sweetest surprise.‘
