Broken Spirit
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
I must forgive to protect my broken heart
I see the vultures like dark angels as they swoop
But only God will ever really know the truth
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
You call it evil, I disagree
So hard to face the darker parts of you and me
You point the finger and you cast the stone
But you have secrets and confessions of your own
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Broken spirit I know your name
So lift your head high I can feel your shame
Your mind is twisted with this crazy fear
But you're in my heart and
I'm gonna keep you there
Gonna keep you there
Gonna keep you there
Oh yeah
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

Boy George's "Broken Spirit" stands as a poignant example of his late-career return to soulful R&B roots, marking a significant shift from the pop dominance of his earlier work. Recorded during a period of intense creative exploration, the track features George's signature falsetto and emotive vocal delivery, characteristic of his ability to convey deep vulnerability. While the song lacks a specific album title in public records, it aligns with his broader discography of late-1990s and early-2000s recordings that emphasized raw emotion and musical sophistication. The composition reflects the enduring influence of classic soul and funk on his later performances, showcasing his continued relevance as a vocalist capable of delivering powerful, atmospheric tracks that resonate with listeners seeking authentic musical expression.
