Nobody's Born With a Broken Heart - Grace Potter

Once there was a restless father

Who walked out on his one and only son

And now he’s saving up to buy a guitar

So he can write his own redemption song

Lonely is the wayward mother, she says

«I swear I’m gonna get it right one of these days»

But once you let somebody break you down

You just get used to feeling that way

But I say

Nobody’s born with a broken heart

Nobody’s born with a broken heart

There’s a young man living under the freeway

He sleeps in any warm place he can find

And he’s still looking for the strangers

Who gave him green eyes and a restless smile

He spends his days on Beggars' Corner

As the people toss their coins and move along

One day a strange man with a guitar sat beside him

Closed his green eyes and played the boy a song

Hey hey

Nobody’s born with a broken heart

Nobody’s born with a broken heart

I’ve met so many people

Chained to circumstance

And they’re not asking for a miracle

All they want is a second chance

Sing hallelujah

Sing any song you wanna hear

Sing a song of redemption

Sing away, sing away your fears

Nobody’s born with a broken heart

Nobody’s born with a broken heart
