The Lyrics Project Begins

I'm trying to generate some conversation about the deep ideas in my recent musical project, Broken In.  The best way I know to begin is to simply post some of the lyrics with a few brief thoughts about what they mean to me and invite people to respond.  So here goes...

BROKEN IN words & music by John Pryor

Torn and ripped, faded and stained from the dirt and the sweat and the miles

You feel used and all worn out, but you look good to me

'Cause I see Jesus when I see you.  It's the shape you're in and the things you do

That I know you can't do on your own--the way you make me feel at home

What this means to me is basically that the scars of our adventures and mistakes actually make us more beautiful--or at least attractive--rather than ruined.  I know I'd rather wear an old, soft, torn pair of jeans than a brand new, stiff, perfect pair any day...
