Broken Silence Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The Lord is my light and my
salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom
shall I be afraid?
When the wicked came against
me to eat up my flesh
My enemies and foes,
they stumbled and fell
Though an army may encamp against me
My heart shall not fear
Though war may rise against me
In this I will be [Esus2]confident[D][Bsus4]
[Esus2][D][Esus2][Bsus4][Esus2][D]
[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]
I will [A]survive

[Verse 3]
[E]Take, [D]these broken win[Esus2]gs
(these broken wings)
And let them fly [D]again
And let them [Em]live so [Esus2]free (y
[Em]ou taught me [D]how to fly, fly)
[Bm]When we hear, the voices sing[D]
The book of [A]love will open [F#m]up ,
and let [A]us in

[Verse 4]
Feel [E]like I've got [D]this black
cloud hangin' over me
[Esus2]It's like this pain is
takin' control of me
Every move [D]I make,
determines my fate
[Esus2]Feel like I'm dying slow,
and that's the shit I hate
[D]The constant pressure,
[Bm]the bullshit rumors
[D]The outcast,
I'm the one they love to badge
[A]When the records stop sel[F#m]lin'
And the [A]crowds stop yellin'
All I have is me

[Verse 5]
Bet [E]you thought I'd die [D]without you
But see how I'm still [Esus2]living
Thought that I would self destruct
But I'm still [D]here, with another one
Even [Esus2]though I felt crumbled,
I made it through the rumble
[D]Torn apart, a y[Bm]oung woman scorned
[D]Coping with the pain,
nearly drove me insane
[A]In the hospital, [F#m]crying in the pain
[A]All types of medications, flowing

[Verse 6]
through my veins
[E]Take, [D]these broken win[Esus2]g s[D]
[Esus2](these, broken, wings)
And let them fly [D]again
And let them live [Em]so free
When we [D]hear, [Bm]the voices s[D]ing (I will learn,
I will learn, how to fly)
The book of [A]love will open [F#m]up ,
and let [A]us in
[D]Please,

[Verse 7]
understand I'm a human first
And [Esus2]be fore Foxy Brown,
I'm just still Inga
And [D]my family, is my whole life
[Em]And I cherish t[Esus2]his ring that
you put on my finger
We [D]survived through
the roughest [Bm]stones
Sleeping with [D]our baby pit bull on
the basement floors
And through [A]it all,
you and I felt [F#m]we could be strong
[A]All through the rough times,
through the pains and storms
[E]And, [D]it's like when it rains, it pours
All they [Esus2]see is gray and b[E]lue,
they [Esus2]don't know you like I do
Five years [D]committed,
y'all just don't understand
No [Esus2]ca reer, no fame,
meant more than my man
[D]And, to my fans [Bm]that
slept through it all
Through [D]the rise and the fall, I love y'all all
[A]Even when I nearly los[F#m]t my mind
[A]Some remained loyal,

[Verse 8]
ignored the headlines and
[E]Take, [D]these broken win[Em]gs
[D](take, these broken [E]wings)
And [Esus2]let them fly again[D]
And let them [Em]live so free [Esus2](let em f[Em]ly,
let [D]em fly)
[Bm]When we hear,
[D]the voices sing (voices sing)
The book of [A]love will open [F#m]up ,
[A]and let us in

[Verse 9]
[E]Story of [D]my legacy, this can't be [Esus2]life
[E]Lord, I fee[Esus2]l like I'm fallin'
Praying [D]for strength, I'm losing my mind
[Em]And, how can you fly when
[Esus2]your wings are broken?
[D]And, how can I smile when
[Bm]my heart is [D]broken?
Through all the pain I've felt,
that's the hand I'm dealt
[A]My personal problem, sta[F#m]ys in my home
[A]Know I won't discuss them, reporters

[Verse 10]
I don't trust 'em
[E]Take, [D]these broken win[Em]gs
(these broken wings)
[E]And let them fly [D]again
And let them [Em]live so free
(I wanna see [D]them fly)
When [Bm]we hear, the
[D]voices sing
The book of [A]love will open [F#m]up ,
and let [A]us in

[Verse 11]
[E]Take, [D]these broken win[E]gs
[D](take these broken [Esus2]wings)
And let them fly again [D](oohh)
And let them [Em]live so free [D](let them live [Em]so free,
so free)
[D]When we [Bm]hear, the voices sin[D]g (yeahh)
The book of [A]love will open [F#m]up ,
and let [A]us in

[Verse 12]
Teach me [Em]how to fly
[D](Ooh ooh[Em] ooh ooh ooh ooh
[D]ooh ooh ooh ooh- ooh)
Teach [Em]me how to fl[D]y[Esus2]
I [D]be [Bm]lieve, in [D]the power, of [A]love[F#m]
[A](Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Can't you hear me,
[E]don't [D]you hear me?
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Em]ooh ooh ooh ooh- ooh)[D]
[Em]I'm calling out [D]to y[Esus2]ou
[Em]Foxy [D]help me sing
(Ooh ooh ooh [Bm]ooh o[D]oh ooh ooh)
