We Are All Kintsugi

Your wounds do not define you. You do. [intro] Careless with my porcelain, I dropped it on the floor Everyone insisted it was to be no more [Verse] I picked up all of the pieces, and stored them in a box Put them on a closet shelf, closing all the locks [Interlude] I knew that there would come a day My set would be restored I tried but did not understand It would never be as it was before The cracks just would not disappear The damage could be seen I looked at all the scars A reminder Of you and me [Banjo solo] [Bridge] I filled the cracks in both of us With the purest of gold Didn't try to hide that we are old Through the darkest of days We shine both bright and bold My entire life, Kintsugi had foretold [Chorus] If you only see the cover But never even try To open up the pages You might miss the gems inside Of all the greatest treasures Pyramids or Chinese Walls The life you have is the greatest of all Always stand tall [Fiddle solo] [Verse] My porcelain it may not be, as perfect as it could be But perfection is an endless chase A distraction To you and me [Verse] Doesn't matter what you do not have Take a look at what you do Ghandi said if you want change Look for that change inside of you [Outro] [Acapella vocals] If life hands you only rocks Just take a look inside It might be where your diamond hides Right now you only have this life So live it to the best All will be forgotten When we pass the final test Then there will be all the time to rest [Final verse] I choose to live my life, the best I can for me Hoping someone else might see It could be exactly what they need To understand We all Were always free [Harmonica close]
