Song Lyric of the Day (Maggie Rose, on ‘Something Broken’)

“Life's full of broken things
Like hearts, homes, and dreams
We all come from something broken.”— “Broken,” composed by Patrick Russell Davis, Margaret Rose Durante (AKA Maggie Rose), and Corey Crowder, from Ms. Rose’s EP The Variety Show, Vol. 1 (2016)
 
On Sundays, I normally include a “Spiritual Quote of the Day” on this blog. But last night, while listening to several country music artists on a PBS station, I heard this song from Maggie Rose, a singer-songwriter I hadn't heard of before. 

It struck me that it is precisely “something broken”—call it original sin or just the human condition—that has sparked the need for so much religious consolation.
 
And so, I offer it here, and hope that anyone reading this finds what will mend anything broken in their own lives.
