Million Pieces by Newsboys is a catchy tune that draws you in with its guitar riffs and light feel. More than a puff piece though, the song touches on a profound truth, by casting your cares to God, you become more effective and useful in his Kingdom.
This is not your floor You’re going higher than before
They all fall Like a million raindrops Falling from a blue sky Kissing your cares goodbye They all fall Like a million pieces A tickertape parade high And now you’re free to fly Carryin’ a millstone malaise It’s been pulling down your gaze You pound the pavement It don’t give or care This weight ain’t yours to bear Why you holdin’ grudges in old jars? Why you wanna show off all your scars? What’s it gonna take to lay a few burdens down? It’s a beautiful sound When they all fall Like a million raindrops Falling from a blue sky Kissing your cares goodbye They all fall Like a million pieces A ticker tape parade high And now you’re free to fly When that muffled sigh Says you’re barely getting by Cut your burdens loose and just simplify Simplify This is not your floor You’re going higher than before Drop the weight now Wait for the lookout guide Look outside As they all fall Like a million raindrops Falling from a blue sky Kissing your cares goodbye They all fall Like a million pieces A ticker tape parade high Now you’re free to fly You’ve gotta lay that burden down You’re gonna lay that burden down It’s time to leave your burdens in a pyre Set a bonfire ‘Cause when you lay your burdens down When you lay your burdens down When you drop them burdens What a free-fall What a thrill Bury them all In a landfill
