The Broken Ones

This isn't a blog, just posting the lyrics to one of my current favorite songs, sung by the Talley Trio. I think it is a really cool song:

Maggie came home one day with a raggedy Raggedy Ann
She said, "Mama, look what I found in the neighbor's garbage can"
Had a missing left arm and a right button eye hanging by a thread
She carried it gently up to her room and laid in on her bed

(Chorus)
She loves the broken ones, the ones that need a little patching up
She sees a diamond in the rough and makes it shine like new
It really doesn't take that much, a willing heart and a tender touch
If everybody loved like she does; there'd be a lot less broken ones

Twenty years later in a shelter on eighteenth avenue
A seventeen year old girl shows up all black and blue
Needle tracks in her left arm; almost too weak to stand
She says, "I'm lost and I need help" as Maggie takes her hand
And says, "Come on in"

(Chorus)

If you call her an angel, she'll be quick to say to you
She's just doing what the one who died for her would do
Love the broken ones, the ones that need a little patching up
See the diamond in the rough and make it shine like new
It really doesn't take that much, a willing heart and a tender touch
If everybody loved like He does, there'd be a lot less broken ones
