Patty Loveless - Pieces On The Ground lyrics

In pieces on the ground

My spirit's cracked and crumbled

My world's been crashing down

The weight upon my shoulders

Got so heavy they just gave in

'Til I could not lift my head up

To face another day again

CHORUS 1:

Let a ray of hope come shining

So I may look up at the sky

And see a glimpse of tomorrow

Where I'm standing in the light

Let me climb upon a hilltop

Healing hands can touch me now

They will mend this broken body

In pieces on the ground

The human heart's a fragile thing

It shatters just like glass

Gather up all of these splinters

Crush them into grains of sand

So the wind may scatter them

Toward the angels looking down

They will mend this broken body

In pieces on the ground

CHORUS 2:

Then a ray of hope came shining

When I looked into your eyes

I saw all of my tomorrows

And we're standing in the light

We are high upon a hilltop

Healing hands touching me and

Mending this broken body

In pieces on the ground
