The Puzzle

Look within and you will see
the puzzle of identity.
Each piece of the puzzle is designed to fit
Should you choose to assemble it...
Your puzzle pieces are scattered about
for you alone to figure out.
So many colors, edges and curves
What pattern does your mind observe?

Chorus:
When the pieces to the puzzle
start fitting into place...
When you start to make connections
that can fill the empty space...
I do believe that when you do
the puzzle will make more sense to you. \
And the more of the puzzle that you figure out
the more of you you’ll learn about.

An awesome task, quite a challenge you face
to fit life’s pieces in their place.
Each piece of the puzzle is a part of the sum
of all your life will ever become...
And so you ponder, you twist and you turn
until an image you discern.
You sort through the pieces and, as you do,
the puzzle makes more sense to you...

Chorus...

Learn about what makes you whole.
Learn to live with self control.
Learn respect for others views,
and learn to be whoever you choose.
Learn about what you desire.
Learn what’ll set your soul on fire.
And learn about what you can do
to make the world’s dreams come true!

Look within and you will see the puzzle of identity.
Each piece of the puzzle is designed to fit,
should you choose to assemble it!
