Nick Wellner - Patchwork Lyrics

You used to stand
You stood so tall
An image of what I could become

You've shared so much
I've taken more than you know
It's the pieces that make me whole

Cast my shell in your mold
Add pressure to harden
But as I expand I'm overflowing
I'll shed what is broken
Find something new
A better fit
A form more true

Carry with me parts of you
Stolen traits, gifts you gave me
As the years pass by I understand
There's room to grow if we keep learning

You did your best
Imparted all you know
These are the pieces that make me whole

Over time your shine
Has begun to fade
I see the faults now
But the love remains

I will take the reigns
With these shaking hands
I will take the reigns
Knowing that I'll do my best
Hold my head high

Carry with me parts of you
Stolen traits, gifts you gave me
As the years pass by I understand
There's room to grow if we keep learning

Keep learning
Keep overflowing
