Beres Hammond - Picking Up The Pieces

Yeah, yeah
Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm

Picking up the pieces of a broken world
Tryna put it back together, yeah-eh
But every time I try, another tragedy comes by
Guess I'm gonna have to start all over, yes
This war isn't over, yet another one has started
Hardly any time to say goodbye to our dearly departed
Tears flowing deeper than rivers, yet very few forgivers
Beats me, I don't know why

We're gonna have to pull ourselves together
We gonna have sort it out
Gather all peacemakers, scattered all about
Find a new direction, 'cause this one ain't working out
Talking to one of those with a cloud
My little baby keep asking me, "Daddy, what's going on?"
"Is it safe for me to go out today, to the playground?"
"Is the Boogie Man gonna get me and who is he anyway?"
I say, "Honey, the law forbids me to say"
'Cause if I speak my mind, chance is you won't have a dad
Don't want you to grow up to be, one of the bad
You must go on (you must go on), make a change
Can't go on living this way

Gotta pull ourselves together, must sort it out
Gather all peacemakers (scattered all about)
Find a new direction, this one ain't working out
Talking to all the folks with a cloud, yeah-eh

(..)
Hmm-mmm
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Yeah-eh, yeah-eh, eh..

Picking up the pieces of a broken world
Tryna put it back together, yeah-eh
Every time I try, another tragedy comes by
Guess I'm gonna have to start all over
This war isn't over, yet another one has started
Hardly any time to say goodbye to our dearly departed
Tears flowing deeper than rivers, yet very few forgivers
Trust me, I don't know why

But I know we're gonna pull ourselves together
We gonna have sort it out
Gather all peacemakers, scattered all about
Find a new direction, this one ain't working out
Talking to all the folks with a cloud
Pull ourselves together, gotta have to sort it out
Gather all peacemakers (scattered all about)
(Find a new direction..)
