"A Home for the Broken"
By Whiskey Black

They abandoned me because I liked to chase cats.

from an accident that happened after I was born

We can all run and play, we have no special needs
Aside from wanting love, affection, kindness and treats

But the truth is we'll never find a home
because no one wants to deal with a broken dog

This new home we’re at has concrete floors
No room to play, or run and stretch our paws,
and the love that we get is only a few minutes a day,
we're stuck in a cage and there's locks on the doors

With you we always felt loved and never alone,
You did everything you could, you did your best
Whether it was a hug or a kiss, or a giant milk bone
You treated us like equals, not less than the rest

People always came to look but never followed through
Don't cry sweet girl, you did everything you could
there's nothing else you could do

You always promised we'd find a home

Today is the day, you were right all along
The nice man came and took us from our cage
finally we're free, we've found our home

We're chasing kittens across rainbows and sleeping on clouds,
We're running and playing, just look at us now

So dry your eyes sweet girl, and please try to see
those other homes we had were never meant to be
Because no one but God wants a broken dog
