Broken Toys
[Verse 1]
There's not much to say for what was mine today
But when tomorrow comes I'll make my way
Had planned to build a dream or two today
But everything I tried turned out mistakes
Won't stay down long, tomorrow is my day

[Verse 2]
Casting nets catch dreams; try for what seems to be
Bend that willow round to shape things as I see
Finding that some cards are drifting in the sea
And no matter how I play them they'll trick me
That was this day, tomorrow I'll be free

[Verse 3]
Today played unfair; left me hung up, nowhere
But though it tries to break me, I don't care
Tried to bring my ship in tow to land somewhere
But today is just another chance that's left me there
Broken toys today, tomorrow's my repair

[Outro]
There's not much to say for what was mine today
Won't stay down long, tomorrow is my day
