Assumed identity - Broken Candy Cane Lyrics

In a world of shattered dreams, where nothing's quite as sweet it seems
There's a candy cane that's lost its way, broken on this Christmas day
Pieces on the floor, red and white no more
A bittersweet encore as we long for days of yore

Broken candy canes lying on the ground, lost their sweetness, lost their sound
Cracks in refinement, shattered sight, a symbol of hope that lost its light
Once so vibrant, once so bold, now in fragments, stories untold
Memories of joy and cheer now replaced with silent tears

Fragments on the floor, what was sweet is sour
A broken candy cane's alarm reminds us of the past in our world
Broken candy canes lying on the ground, lost their sweetness, lost their sound
Cracks in refinement, shattered sight, a symbol of hope that lost its light

But amidst the broken pieces here, there's a lesson we hold dear
Even when the candy cane breaks, the spirit of Christmas still awakes
Broken candy canes, but hope remains
In the midst of loss, we'll find a way through the cracks

The light will shine in brokenness, love is wild
