Text: Patty Loveless. Pieces Of The Ground.

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
Till I could not lift my head up
To face another day again

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

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
