Break me off a piece of that Healin’ Love
Break me off a piece
Break me off a piece of that Healin’ Love
Break me off a piece

Don’t you get tired of this greedy old town
Everybody’s stealin’ what ain’t tied down
There’s bars on the windows, bars on our hearts,
But bars can’t keep us from splittin’ apart.
There’s a storm at the edge, the edge of the sky,
We’ve got to huddle together so we all keep dry
There’s lightning a thunder like there’s never been known
And clouds so dark, rainin’ fire and stone.

Break me off a piece of that Healin’ Love
Break me off a piece
Break me off a piece of that Healin’ Love
Break me off a piece

This world is shrinkin’ smaller each day
An evil wind blows, when the good die away.
We’re brothers and sisters under the skin
Let’s not sink the boat that we’re all living in.
The world is a changing as fast as we peak
But we’re only as real as the promise we keep.
As the world keeps shifting, some thing’s stay the same
The poor get poorer and the rich play the game

Break me off a just a little piece
Break me off a just a little piece

Oh Lord, can’t you hear the walls a crumbing
Oh Lord, and muffle every prayer
Oh Lord, can’t you see the building tumblin’
Oh Lord, are you still up there

Don’t you get tired of this greedy old town
Everybody’s stealin’ what ain’t tied down
There’s bars on the windows, bars on our hearts,
But bars can’t keep us from splittin’ apart.
There’s a storm at the edge, the edge of the sky,
We’ve got to huddle together so we all keep dry
There’s lightning a thunder like there’s never been known
And clouds so dark, rainin’ fire and stone.

Break me off a piece of that Healin’ Love
Break me off a piece
Break me off a piece of that Healin’ Love
Break me off a piece
