Analysis of King of Broken Hearth



Kindness is a free commodity to give one another
I would rather be kindsmmile,better
 to others and a  brightens my day
Nothing feels  to me than making a smile
Going out and so many people just going about their day

One smile makes a difference to me and lightens my soul
For each smile that I can give someone I feel a surge of pride

But they also say to much pride is a sin but I'm not so sure
Religions all around the world conflict within themselves
Often they do the opposite of the words they preach
Keeping secrets from even their worshippers
Entering heaven is supposed to be their reward
Nevermind that God's words were ignored

Heaven though isn't what I would desire then
Eternal confusion and only getting half the answers
After being treated like I'm not wanted and always confused
Real smiles and laughter are what I would rather receive
Time will tell where we go in the end why worry now
Hold on to what makes you feel worthy and live in peace
