music:

Albuquerque Lullaby by Dan Bern

story:

This song was released in 2001 and when I heard it soon after 9/11 it touched me in a way that few songs had. The chorus is:
Don't let your heart
Get broken by this world
Don't let your heart
Get broken
At the bottom of the ocean
You might find a pearl
Don't let your heart
Get broken by this world.

Beautiful words.
