They tore a building down today
Where the children use to play
They have nowhere else to go

Let the children in your homes
Take them in and keep them warm
They have nowhere else to go

See them on their knees
As they pray for you
See them in their knees
As they pray

They are the meaning of life

There's a young man on the shore
Listening to the ocean roar
He won't smile for us at all
Thought his savior cam, called his name
Reached and broke his fall
He won't smile for us at all

Broken hearts like these
Are the one God cries for
Broken hearts like these
Hear them cry

They are the meaning life

Words of comfort
Few and far between
The cracks in our walls
Words of mercy brake the walls
On people just like me
Who the savior came for
Broken hearts like these
The one God cries for
Helpless one like me
Again and again

They are the meaning of life
