One look into the box and there you see
My world in pieces
A jigsaw written
This picture paintedΒ Β 
All at one in days of old
Now broken
Left for the forgotten

Go pick a piece
See that smile
It's been a while
When the sky was blue and the grass came green
But that was then and this is now

The box is flattened from its lonely place on the top shelf
Corners bent,twisted yet still performing
Even after all these years
Layers of dust hide the beautiful picture that
Once had pride
Once had a place
Once had a purpose
Faded is the view
Scratched is the paint but inside the beauty is still there

Put me together again
Glue the pain away
Make me smile
Make me shine
Don't hide me inside just bring this jigsaw alive
Wake me from the slumber
Go colour my soul
Fit me back together again
Make me the whole
