PICK UP THE PIECES
Is it the middle, beginning or end
Sometimes I don’t know where I’ve been
Everything feels like it’s spinning out of control
Another dream or deja vu
Another tear or holding on to you
We’ve come a long way but there’s still a long way to go
It’s time to pick up the pieces
Of a world we can believe in
Have a little faith it’s all gonna be ok
And we all live with our reasons
Beat up and broken feelings
And the only way out is to figure out somehow
We’re gonna pick up the pieces
You know it’s never too late to change
You’re never too far gone, have you lost your way
Fear and shame can’t hold you down anymore
Yeah it’s time to pick up the pieces
Of a world we can believe in
Have a little faith it’s all gonna be ok
And we all live with our reasons
Beat up and broken feelings
And the only road out is to figure out somehow
How to pick up the pieces
We’ve come a long way, still a long way to go
Come a long way, still a long way to go
It’s time to pick up the pieces
Of a world we can believe in
And have a little faith we’re gonna find a way
Yeah we all live with our reasons
Beat up and broken feelings
The only way out, ‘said the only way out
Is to pick up the pieces
We gotta pick up the pieces
