“Some lose faith in love and life when sorrow shoots her darts,
And with hope all gone, they walk alone, these men with broken hearts.
You’ve never walked in that man’s shoes or saw things through his eyes,
Or stood and watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies.
Some were paupers, some were kings, and some were masters of the arts.
But in their shame, they’re all the same, these men with broken hearts.
Life sometimes can be so cruel that a heart will pray for death.
God, why must these living dead know pain with every breath?
So, help your brother along the road, no matter where he starts.
For the God that made you, made them, too – these men with broken hearts.”
–from “Men With Broken Hearts” by Luke the Drifter (Hank Williams, Sr.), 1950

“‘Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!’ […] When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, ‘Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?’ ‘No, Lord,’ she said. And Jesus said, ‘Neither do I. Go and sin no more.'”
from John 8:7-11 NLT

“It’s a long, lonely highway when you’re traveling all alone,
And it’s a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried,
And you pass through towns too small to even have a name,
But you gotta keep on going on that road to nowhere.”
–Adapted from “Long Lonely Highway” by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman; Elvis Presley song, 1963
