Analysis of Help A Broken Heart
Udawna Strasburg 1968 (Spokane)
I sit here tonight
with a broken heart
there is so much I want to do
I just don’t know where to start
I want to take away the hurt
And I want to help the pain
What can I do
Besides go insane?
God give me the strength
To keep up the fight
Help me Lord
To make things right
I seek your guidance
to help the one I love
I’m asking for help
