Broken Blades

[Verse] With the morning sun rising, he heads out the door A hard-working landscaper, his body feeling sore Gotta mow those lawns to put food on the table But today he's met with a problem, it's something he can't disable He pulls the starter cord, but the engine won't roar His faithful lawnmower won't cut grass no more A broken blade is the cause of his despair It's like a piece of his heart has been ripped and stripped bare [Verse 2] He looks at the yards, overgrown and wild Knowing he can't finish them, it hurts like a child Each blade of grass mocks him, swaying in the breeze His dreams of a perfect lawn shattered, brought to their knees
