Bon Jovi - Unbroken Lyrics






I was born to be of service
Camp Lejeune just felt like home
I had honor, I found purpose
Sir, yes, sir, that's what I know

They sent us to a place
I'd never heard of weeks before
When you're 19 it ain't hard to sleep
In the desert on God's floor

Close your eyes, stop counting sheep
You ain't in boot camp anymore

We were taught to shoot our rifles
Men and women side by side
Thought we'd be met as liberators
In a thousand-year-old fight

I got this painful ringing in my ear
From an IED last night
But no lead-lined Humvee war machine
Could save my sergeant's life

Three more soldiers, six civilians
Need these words to come out right

God of mercy, God of light
Save your children from this life
Hear these words, this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering
And with this prayer I'm hoping
That we can be unbroken

It's eighteen months now I've been stateside
With this medal on my chest
But there are things I can't remember
And there are things I won't forget

I lie awake at night
With dreams the devil shouldn't see
I want to scream but I can't breathe
And, Christ, I'm sweating through these sheets

Where's my brothers? Where's my country?
Where's my how-things-used-to-be

God of mercy, God of light
Save your children from this life
Hear these words, this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering
And with this prayer I'm hoping
That we can be unbroken

My service dog's done more for me
Than the medication would
There ain't no angel that's coming to save me
But even if they could

Today twenty-two will die from suicide
Just like yesterday, they're gone
I live my life for each tomorrow
So their memories will live on

Once we were boys and we were strangers
Now we're brothers and we're men
Someday you'll ask me "Was it worth it
To be of service in the end?"

Well, the blessing and the curse is
Yeah, I'd do it all again

    Jolie chanson...love it

  2. T.... R....

    I saw this movie on Netflix. I like the song. I cried the first time I heard it (then had a flashback). The only part of the song I'm not sure I'd agree with is: "I'd do it all again." (Thus possibly the reason some people gave it a "thumbs down"?) I learned a lot in the military. But almost 30 years after Desert Storm; I still have PTSD, Gulf War Syndrome and a son with Autism and some really weird form of epilepsy.

    Yeah, I'm 100% service connected; but would I "do it all again"? At this point I'd say no.

    And please don't tell me "Thank you for your service." Thank me for what; leveling someone else's country? No don't thank me. Thank God that war was not fought over here!

    Welcome home to all the veterans; (the vets of the world even) and may one day the Iraqis and Syrians be able to go back home too.

  3. l.... T....

    Still the best..

  4. Z.... B....

    I like you Bon ,

    your songs really feel in the heart, like a god descending from the sky giving happiness, the song like the expanse of the singing of the universe.

  5. M.... H....

    Im really sorry you had a hard time

  6. J.... M....

    Another music master piece. And it's awesome that the new album is dedicated to our soldiers and vets! My Grandad, who served in WWII liked Wanted Dead Or Alive when I first got it. He passed away in 1993

  8. C.... W....

    Good to know that rock isn't dead like I thought

  9. A.... N....

    Despite his age he can still write good music. Much better than any modern greek artist. (I am Greek and I am disappointed of our music industry. Nowadays Greek music has lost its value)

  10. A.... I....

    What amazing song, so sensitive and at the same time so intense and real! It left me speechless and unable to contain the tears.

  16. K.... G....

    Wow amazing song so well written thank you for writing this song for the veteran, soldiers, and the amazing service dogs you are an amazing person and singer 😘😘♥️🌹

    HE IS A VERY GREAT SINGER

  20. T.... B....

    Thank all of you for your service!

  21. K.... G....

    I'm here for music, not lyrics, and I don't want to offend anyone, but this song is really really boring. I miss the 90s-2000 Bon Jovi. That was at least interesting, this is generic af.

  22. D.... ....

    Boring, mediocre song. A shame the band has gone in a very mundane, boring direction since Richie left.

  23. S.... C....

    Great Song!

  29. J.... V....

    Amazing Song

  30. A.... N....

    Soldiers and their peace

  31. S.... i....

    Miss These Days albun Bon Jovi Style; Honoring the soldiers is nice, but bon jovi has done this before several times, is there a theme missing for you to sing? Weak melody, cold music. I didn't like that song.

  32. T.... V....

    Amazing

  33. L.... S....

    Fico sem palavras ,quando o comentário é Bon Jovi. Ele é uma lenda ......

  34. M.... D....

    As a psychologist who worked in the VA treating combat PTSD for 17 years, thank you, Bon Jovi, for this song, and my wish as well for all active duty and veterans to have the best lives they can despite what they have been through.

    Bon Jovi - Unbreakable Songtext
    Bon Jovi - Unbreakable Übersetzung
    You said you made me and you break me
    You said it ain't hard to shake me
    Uh huh, uh huh
    You threw me ever since you've taken me down
    You came like a rainy grey Monday
    I prayed like it was a Sunday
    You say, you say
    But I won't run away, I'll be standing my ground
    Seen all the screaming and fighting
    Lived through the screaming and lying
    I'm fine, you can't deny
    I'm unbreakable
    Unstoppable
    I'm invincible
    Come on bring it to me
    Cuz I'm always gonna be
    Unbreakable
    Reliable
    Undeniable
    Come on give it to me
    Cuz I'm always gonna be unbreakable
    Don't need the diamond cards or cold cash
    Don't need to sell my soul so don't ask
    Uh huh, uh huh
    Took a pass on the pass I'd be leaving right now
    Newsflash, I'm causing a commotion
    Jump back, I'm poetry in motion,
    Think fast, talk trash
    Well I ain't talking back but I'm calling you out
    No time for fussing and fighting
    Lived through the screaming and the lying
    I'm fine, you can't deny
    I'm unbreakable
    Unstoppable

    Du hast gesagt, du hast mich gemacht und du brechst mich
    Du hast gesagt, es ist nicht schwer, mich zu schütteln
    Uh huh, uh huh
    Du hast dich schon geworfen, seit du mich hinuntergebracht hast
    Sie kamen wie ein regnerischer grauer Montag
    Ich betete, wie es ein Sonntag war
    Sie sagen, sagen Sie
    Aber ich werde nicht weglaufen, ich stehe meinen Boden
    Seht all das Schreien und Kämpfen
    Lebte durch das Schreien und Lügen
    Mir geht's gut, du kannst nicht leugnen
    Ich bin unzerbrechlich
    Unaufhaltsam
    Ich bin unbesiegbar
    Komm, bring es mir zu
    Cuz, ich bin immer gonna be
    Unzerbrechlich
    Zuverlässig
    Unbestreitbar
    Komm, gib es mir
    Cuz, ich werde immer unzerbrechlich sein
    Brauchen Sie nicht die Diamantkarten oder kaltes Bargeld
    Muss nicht meine Seele verkaufen, also frage nicht
    Uh huh, uh huh
    Habe einen Pass auf den Pass, den ich jetzt verlassen würde
    Newsflash, ich mache eine Aufregung
    Springe zurück, ich bin Poesie in Bewegung,
    Denken Sie schnell, sprechen Sie Müll
    Nun, ich rede nicht zurück, aber ich rufe dich raus
    Keine Zeit für Aufregung und Kämpfen
    Lebte durch das Schreien und das Lügen
    Mir geht's gut, du kannst nicht leugnen
    Ich bin unzerbrechlich
    Unaufhaltsam

    Cuz, ich werde immer unzerbrechlich sein

    Damn. So weird seeing him fully grey; he's only 13 or 14 years older than me! I remember when I was 12 & "Slippery When Wet" came out & I told my dad I was going to lose my virginity to Jon Bon Jovi. 😂 I think that's when _my_ dad got his first grey!

    Is Bon Jovi Immortal?

  50. L.... V....

    As a daughter to a Veteran who served WWII through Vietnam, a mother to a Marine, and Army, this song hits home. It took me a long while to understand my father's need to have a dog by his side all the time when he was home, we grew up with them, but he always had that one special dog. I never understood the nightmares, the crying out at night, the withdrawal, but when my son came home from Iraq after his second long TOD, it truly came home. These words, these feelings, this song invokes understanding, for a young child of 8 or 9 when daddy came home, but never did., to a mother who saw darkness creeping over her child and the thankfuless of knowledge, to be able to help him get the assistance he needed. To all who served I know you were only doing your job, but you signed that blank check that many do not, as a 9th generation military family member I thank you. You are sincerely appreciated by my being.

  61. E.... B....

    Thank you to all the veterans and soldiers, if anyone of you see this, just know that you are all wonderful! Thank you again :)

  62. R.... B....

    I like the message behind this, but I’m not sold on the song itself. I still like (in order)
    1. Living on a prayer
    2. Shot through the heart (not you give love a bad name, 2 diff songs)
    3. We don’t run
    4. Dead or alive
    5. Blood on blood

    Shoot me for not liking it, but I just don’t see Jon in this, I see whoever is writing this stuff and having him sing it. Gone are the days of writing mega hits in the basement with Riche sadly...

  63. T.... K....

    Love this song as a career veteran it means a lot. Thanks Bon Jovi.

  64. G.... C....

    God bless you Bon Jovi, I am a daughter of a Father of the Army Green Beret! Uncles Marine and Air Force. Thank you for caring and for this powerful uplifting song! Keep shining blessings and Gods Love all around!😇🇺🇸💖🙏🏼

    Todos sabemos o quanto um soldado pode ser afetado por uma guerra...seja fisicamente ou psicologicamente.

  84. b.... b....

    another amazing song from the legend

  85. M.... ....

    I hadn't heard this one yet. It has a very powerful message; we need to treat our veterans so much better. They fought for us, and some have died; both deserve our respect and our help.

  86. F.... S....

    It has taken me fifty years to admit that I am proud to have served. I was a combat medic. I pretended that it didn't have any effect on me. Self-deception only harms the self.

  87. B.... P....

    In another effort to help support veterans suffering from PTSD, all the proceeds from Bon Jovi’s song “Unbroken” will be donated to the Patriotic Service Dog Foundation, where veterans and first responders get to be paired with service dogs. Taken from an article I read.

  96. A.... C....

    At the beginning of each of my weekly sessions with my VA shrink, Dr. Brian Kelly at Queens West hospital in Hawai'i, he would tell me that most veterans are faking PTSD. He told me that I do not have PTSD. The 10s of thousands of dead burned dead bodies I see from the Gulf War in 1991. They were in pieces or burned alive and they crawled out of their tanks or trucks. one still hunts me.

    THe VA does not give a damn about veterans.

  97. k.... a....

    It's very emotional and very inspirational which inspires me from any danger and challenges.

    QUE BAJA CALIDAD DE CANCIÓN DE UNO DE LOS GRUPOS QUE YA NO HACEN BUENA MUSICA HACE MUCHO TIEMPO.
    ES DETESTABLE ESTA CANCION ALABANDO A LOS VETERANOS DE GUERRA, COMO SI FUERAN HEROES; NO SON MÁS QUE ASESINOS, TERRORISTAS; CUANDO LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS MATAN CIVILES Y NIÑOS, REGRESANDO A CASA DONDE LE ESPERAN SUS FAMILIAS, MIENTRAS ELLOS DESHICIERON, MUCHAS FAMILIAS, DEJANDO EN LA MÁS COMPLETA MISERÍA A PUEBLOS Y NACIONES.
