Picking Up the Pieces

Say you want to drown

Drown in your tears

Say there's been too many heartaches

Through the years, my dear

But the spirit deep inside

Is calling out your name

It says, "just you hold on

Hang on, help is on the way"

Start picking up the pieces

Start picking up the pieces

Life is just a game

The game of strategy

You can play to win or lose

Play it fair or play it to cheat

It's all up to you

It's all up to you

Yes, it is, yeah

Mm-hmm

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Well, every time you fall

From the weight of the world

It just gives you one more chance

To stand real tall, yes, sir

'Cause the spirit deep inside

Says, "don't you be no fool

It's just as easy to win at life

As it is to lose"

Start picking up the pieces of your life

Start picking up the pieces

(Of life, yeah)

But life is just a game

The game of strategy

You can play to win or lose

Play it fair or play it to cheat

It's all up to you

(You can make it)

It's all up to you

(Oh-oh-oh, you can make it)

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Mm-hmm

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

I said, life is just a game

The game of strategy

You can play to win or lose

Play it fair or play it to cheat

It's all up to you

(You can make it)

It's all up to you

(Oh-oh-oh, you can make it)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Start picking up the pieces of your life, yeah

Start picking up the pieces

'Cause you're a winner

And I know you are, yeah

Start picking up the pieces

It's your life

You can do what you want to, yeah

Start picking up the pieces

(Uh-huh)

Start picking up the pieces

'Cause you're a winner

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Start picking up the pieces

Every day is a new day, yeah

Start picking up the pieces
