Joan Osborne What Becomes of the Broken Hearted Lyrics

as I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
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
baby

the fruits of love grow all around
but for me they come tumbling 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 who cares
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
help me please

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

what becomes of the broken hearted
who had love that's now departed
what becomes of the broken hearted
who had love that's now departed
what becomes of the broken hearted
tell me
what becomes of the broken hearted
tell me, tell me
oh what becomes of the broken hearted
tell me, tell me, tell me
oh of the broken hearted
... 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 who cares
what becomes of the broken hearted
now
what becomes of the broken hearted
who had love that's now departed
ohh
