lyrics

When I was a kid
I learned about the world
From my mom and dad
And the books I read

Like a treasure chest
Bursting at the seams
With these amazing things
I was too young to see

So when I finished school
It finally arrived
The world was on my doorstep
I wrestled it inside

I opened it right up
Could not believe my eyes
About a billion pieces
No instruction guide

And even worse some parts were missing
That I'd been led to think were there
And even worse some parts were broken
And possibly beyond repair
And even worse some parts were stolen
From someone else's world somewhere

With every year gone by
The task seems more immense
The more I piece together
The less it all makes sense

Some days this heap of junk
Is more than I can stand
Each time I try to throw it out
Some wonder stays my hand
