Lyrics:
As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things, baby
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion,

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

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 who care
Always moving,
And going nowhere

What becomes of the broken hearted
Who has 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.
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 has 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
