The first few seconds, I thought: Wow, this could get interesting. But I agree with others here, it sounds like Jon is in speech therapy here. 20 to 25 years ago, this could've been one really good song!
And the production is too familiar by now.

It's not a bad song but I'mnot sure if it's good.. it'S different, that I appreciate. Jon doesn't sing it, he rather narrates it - another proof about the state of his voice :/
I appreciate that it's over six minutes but I'd like to have a solo in it. At least the guitars are present there.
I bought it off itunes to support the dogs :)

Are the official lyrics somewhere?

Potential music-wise. If only Shanks had taken it that one step further and made the guitars Teardrop style. There’s at least 3 missed chances for a decent solo and the song really screams for it.

Lyric-wise and singing-wise...terrible. Did at one time think ‘imagine if he sang the second chorus with his high voice ala Wedding Day’

Nevermind...listenable

An ok song. Surprised me the guitar in the intro...but that's all. And yes, Jon barely sang on it, he's talking all the time.

The part that was supposed to be the bridge...man, I don't remember a so long one. Cuts all the flow of the song.

The chorus is ok...but yes, should have gone to a higher level in the end to finish the song.

A few years in the past, a new BJ song would be on repeat during all friday...but the third time is enough for this one.

The vocals are really poor at the start of that bridge.

I just dont think we will get a great Jovi sounding song with Shanks at the mixing board

This couldve been a better song with 2 solos in it. Again Phil X is totally underused. Im beginning to think he didn't actually play on it. The guitars reek of Shanks.

Unbroken Lyrics
 

Unbroken · Bon Jovi
(01/11/2019)

[Verse 1]
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 never heard of weeks before
When you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep
In the desert on God's floor
Close your eyes, stop counting sheep
You hear them bootcamp anymore

[Verse 2]
We were taught to shoot our rifles
Then in one, then side by side
Thought we’d be made as liberators
In a thousand year old fight
I got this painful ringing in my ear
From an IED last night
But no lead light humvee war machine, could save my sargeants life
Three more soldiers, six civilians
Need these words to come out right

[Chorus]
God of mercy, God of light
Seek your children from this life
Here these words, this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering
And with this prayer I’m hoping
That we, can be unbroken

[Verse 3]
It's 18 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 of devils shouldn’t see
I wanna scream, but I can't breathe
And Christ, I am sweating through these sheets
Where's my brothers? Where's my country?
Where's my how things used to be?

[Chorus]
God of mercy, God of light
Seek your children from this life
Here these words, this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering
And with this prayer I’m hoping
That we, can be unbroken

[Bridge]
My service dogs done more for me
Then the medication would
There ain't no angel that is coming to save me
But even if they could

[Verse 4]
Today, 22, would 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 curses, yeah, I'd do it all again

[Outro]
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh (Whoa)

I really like it!! I feel like it achieves what it sets out to, won't really criticize the vocals as I feel like this narration style suits both the song and Jon's current style but the instrumental parts could be given more chance to shine.

strong song,it could have been epic but it lacks of power,awful production the guitars are too low in the mix,the song screams for a solo

Proceeds go to the dogs.
