EVERYBODY IS BROKEN — Martin Smith
https://martinsmith.lnk.to/ironlung

“The great thing about this song is that it tells the ancient biblical story of a whole army of people who were literally broken, dead, buried, with no breath in them. I read the text from the book of Ezekiel chapter 37; it paints the picture of our own lives and gives a snapshot on modern day society. The most precious line is ‘You put the pieces back together.’ It gives me hope, it’s the reason that I have faith, the belief that the love of Jesus can raise us all from the dead.
Martin

// You’re raising up an army
We’re an army of bones
With the breath of God within us
We will dance, we will dance together //

LYRICS:
Everybody is broken, everybody is broken
Everybody is broken, everybody is broken
And everybody breaks
But the bones will rise again

God grabbed me, God's Spirit took me up
And set me down in the middle of an open plain strewn with bones
He led me around and among them
Dry bones, bleached by the sun
He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"
And I said, "Can't You see?"

Everybody is broken, everybody is broken
Everybody is broken, everybody is broken
And everybody breaks
But the bones will walk again

God, the Master, told the dry bones
"Watch this: I'm bringing the breath of life to you
And you'll come to life as I prophesied"
There was a sound and, oh, a rustling!
The bones moved and came together, bone to bone
I kept watching the muscles and sinews formed then
Skin stretched over them but they had no breath
They still had no breath

'Cause everybody is broken, everybody is broken
Everybody is broken, everybody is broken
And everybody breaks
But the bones will speak again, yeah
Everybody is broken, everybody is broken
Everybody is broken, everybody is broken
And everybody breaks
But the bones will live again

You put the pieces back together, together
You put the pieces back together, together
You… put the pieces back together
Put the pieces back together
Ooh, together

You're raising up an army
We're an army of bones
With the breath of God within us
We will dance, we will dance together
You're raising up an army
We're an army of bones
With the breath of God within us
We will dance, we will dance together
He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath (You're raising up an army)
Prophesy, son of man" (We're an army of bones)
Tell the breath, "God, the Master, says
Come from the four winds (With the breath of God within us)
Come, breathe, breathe
Breathe on these slain bodies, breathe life!" (We will dance, we will dance together)
So I prophesied, just as He commanded me (You're raising up an army)
The breath entered them and they came alive! (We're an army of bones)
They stood upon their feet, a huge army (With the breath of God within us)
They stood upon their feet, a huge army (We will dance, we will dance together)
You're raising up an army
We're an army of bones
With the breath of God within us
We will dance, we will dance together
You're raising up an army
We're an army of bones
With the breath of God within us
We will dance, we will dance together

We will dance together
We will dance together
