As I walk this land with broken dreams 
I have visions of many things 
Love's happiness is just an illusion 
Filled with sadness and confusion

What becomes of the broken hearted 
Who had love that's now departed? 
I know I've got to find 
Some kind of peace of mind 
Maybe

The fruits of love grow all around 
But for me they come a tumblin' down
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger 
I can't stand this pain much longer 

I walk in shadows 
Searching for light 
Cold and alone 
No comfort in sight 

Hoping and praying 
For someone to care 
Always moving
And going nowhere 

What becomes of the broken hearted 
Who had love that's now departed? 
I know I've got to find 
Some kind of peace of mind 
Maybe 

I'm searching though I don't succeed
But someone look, there's a growing need
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending

Now what's become of the broken-hearted 
Who had love that's now departed? 
I know I've got to find 
Some kind of peace of mind 
I'll be searching everywhere 
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday 
I know I'm gonna find a way 
Nothings gonna stop me now 
I'll find a way somehow 
I'll be searching everywhere
