[Verse 1]
Sometimes blue skies seem like white lies
Tellin' me everything will be alright
When there's no end in sight
Sometimes life seems like a bad dream
That keeps echoing through my mind
Oh, it takes time to realize
[Chorus]
You're pickin' up the pieces of my heart
You're pickin' up the pieces of my life
Though I may kick, scream and cry
You're puttin' them in place for my good
Though often You are misunderstood
I know You want what's best for me to see
The bigger picture
(Oh, yeah)
(And oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
Though I prayed for an open door
I saw a window of opportunity
Fit my schedule nicely
Another dead-end waste of time
Another rhythm with no rhyme
Oh, patience simply could not hurt me, no
[Chorus]
You're pickin' up the pieces of my heart
You're pickin' up the pieces of my life
Though I may kick, scream and cry
You're puttin' them in place for my good
Though often You are misunderstood
I know You want what's best for me to see
The bigger picture
(Oh, yeah)
(And oh, oh)
[Bridge]
And it's puzzling, puzzling to me
Why can't I see what it is You're doing
Before I make another mistake
[Chorus]
You're pickin' up the pieces of my heart
You're pickin' up the pieces of my life
Though I may kick, scream and cry
You're puttin' them in place for my good
Though often You are misunderstood
I know You want what's best for me to see
The bigger picture
(Oh, yeah)
(And oh, oh)
(Oh, yeah)
(And oh, oh)
(Oh, yeah)
(And oh, oh)
