Between Broken and Becoming

“Between Broken and Becoming” captures the paradox of caregiving—the exhaustion, uncertainty, and relentless weight of responsibility—and the quiet transformation it brings. Day after day, often unseen and stretched to the limits, caregivers endure, and through that struggle, patience deepens, kindness flows, and a strength emerges that wasn’t there before. Written as a duet, the song reflects both the individual and shared journey: moments of isolation and moments of connection. It honors the messy, raw, and profoundly human process of becoming, reminding caregivers that even in the hardest moments, they are quietly being shaped into stronger, wiser, and more compassionate versions of themselves. Between Broken and Becoming Key: D major | Tempo: 76 bpm. | Genre/Style: Contemporary bluegrass / folk ballad [Verse 1 – Voice A] I woke before the sunrise, hands too tired to move The world outside kept turning, but I had nothing left to prove I washed, I fed, I waited, in the silence of the room Every day felt endless, every night a quiet gloom [Verse 2 – Voice B] I watched the one I loved fade slowly out of view And every choice I made was just the next thing I had to do Some days I stumbled, some days I held my ground In the middle of the chaos, that's where I was found [Chorus] Oh, I am breaking and I'm bending I am learning what it means to care Though the road is hard and never-ending I am becoming through the wear Every tear and every hour Every fear I face alone Builds a strength I never knew I had In a heart I call my own [Verse 3] There's a quiet while I'm waiting, a lesson in the pain Patience from compassion, like the softest autumn rain I let go of being perfect, I let go of being right And in the long, slow struggle, I found a hidden light [Verse 4] Kindness came without me choosing, humility took hold Grace appeared in moments that I never would have told The small acts became the measure of a life I hadn't seen In the heart of exhaustion, something tender grew in between [Chorus] Oh, I am breaking and I'm bending I am learning what it means to care Though the road is hard and never-ending I am becoming through the wear Every tear and every hour Every fear I face alone Builds a strength I never knew I had In a heart I call my own [Bridge] A: Isn't it strange, the way the world feels B: Growth hides behind what pain conceals A: We build our hearts when we feel powerless B: And love the deepest when the world is careless [Chorus] Oh, I am breaking and I'm bending I am learning what it means to care Though the road is hard and never-ending I am becoming through the wear Every tear and every hour Every fear I face alone Builds a strength I never knew I had In a heart I call my own [Outro] Becoming isn't beautiful, it's messy and it's real But in the quiet struggle, I discover how to heal Through the fear and through the sorrow, through the love that never ends This caring may break us, but it also makes us grow Copyright © 2025 James M.
