lyrics

You start out with a slate that’s bare
Pieces scattered everywhere
And you don’t know where to start

You make your choices one at a time
Among the options that you find
Every piece will play its part

Weighing the options, taking a chance
Watching as the sands advance

Blue buttons
Blue buttons

Make the most of what you get
The patchwork way the pieces fit
In the spaces that you’ve tried

When the picture’s incomplete
I pray you find that missing piece
To fill the hole inside

Passing the markers, rounding the bend
Before you know it you’ve reached the end

Blue buttons
Blue buttons
