Lyrics Pieces On the Ground - Patty Loveless

Mend this broken body
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
