| Such a pretty little face,
|
| With a heart that’s been torn.
|
| Living in a borrowed space,
|
| From the moment she was born.
|
| How many times shes cried,
|
| But never tears of joy.
|
| Someones taken a little girl, and made a broken toy.
|
| Two sad little eyes,
|
| Painted heartbreak blue.
|
| The simplest of his dreams,
|
| Never will come true.
|
| Someone elses pain,
|
| Fell on this little boy.
|
| Someones taken a soldier,
|
| And made a broken toy.
|
| Broken toys,
|
| Who will mend these broken toys?
|
| For everyone one we break,
|
| A broken life takes its place.
|
| That one day will break toys of its own.
|
| Oh Lord, we’ve got to mend these broken toys.
|
| And let them be children again,
|
| Give back the innocence stolen from them.
|
| Broken toys,
|
| Who will mend these broken toys?
|
| For everyone we break,
|
| A broken life takes its place.
|
| That one day will break toys of its own.
|
| Oh Lord, we’ve got to mend these broken toys.
