On the wall where
the old paint
cracked A round little kingdom leaned too far Humpty Dumpty sat on
the wall Like a crown with a hollow center Holding still while
the daylight thinned
Balancing pride on a splinter
All that gold around the rim Could not hide
the little fracture
One small slip and the story turns From a portrait into disaster
You can shine like a Sunday window
You can smile through a shaking frame
But a heart set high above the hands Still can tumble all
the same
Humpty Dumpty, break of dawn Pieces
catching all the sun No king's horses,
no old parade Can rebuild what fear unmade Still the shell remembers
light Still it glows against the night From the fall a name
is born Humpty Dumpty,
break of dawn
I see the square below the wall Stone and dust and scattered
color
Every piece a different truth Every crack reveals another
The people gather, hands outstretched But they only know the surface
They can carry, they can call They cannot repair the purpose Maybe
we were never meant To stay unbroken,
smooth, and still
Maybe falling shows the shape Of all the love we could not
fill
Humpty Dumpty, break of dawn Pieces
catching all the sun No king's horses,
no old parade Can rebuild what fear unmade Still the shell remembers
light Still it glows against the night From the fall a name
is born Humpty Dumpty,
carry on
On the wall, in the air,
in the morning Carry on,
carry on
