“Missing Pieces — Song for Autism Awareness (Inspiration + Story by Mark Leland)”

“Missing Pieces” is a personal song by Mark Leland and Tim Calhoun written for autism awareness. It is inspired by the journey of Tim Calhoun's son, Nathaniel, and the entire autism community as a whole. 💙 🎵 Songwriters: Mark Leland & Tim Calhoun 📍 Originally recorded in Nashville at Tombstone Recording Studio #AutismAwareness #InspirationalMusic #MarkLeland Follow for more music & stories: markleland.com "Missing Pieces" (Lyrics) Mark Leland/Tim Calhoun Mallory Records/Nashville 2005 Verse 1: It was a mid December evening, in a room of heavy breathing, When I looked into my little baby's eyes, And like the ships that sail the ocean, he had captured my emotions, and wrapped them up just like a gift at Christmas time, I thanked the Lord above that he was mine I prayed to God that everything was fine, Verse 2: After months we saw him changing, Nathaniel's speech was rearranging, So we took him back to see what they could find, And after ironing out the creases, They came up with missing pieces, And they told us that Autism's on the rise, I looked into my little baby's eyes, I promised him to find the reasons why, Chorus 1: Now I lay him down to sleep I pray the Lord my son could speak, And make him strong, where he is weak, This I ask of YOU... And just like him, there's many more, That need out help to win this war, Cause who knows what might lay in store, To help them make it through. Bridge: The doctor says, there's so much more to do, to put the pieces back together, but it's up to me and you Chourus 2: So now we lay them down to sleep And pray the Lord they all could speak, Make them strong, where they are weak, This we ask of You.. Cause now we know there's so many more That need out help to win this war, And who knows what might lay in store, To help them make it through. Yes, who knows what might lay in store, The missing piece is me and you... I love you daddy (spoken by Nathaniel Calhoun) This music video was created to raise awareness and understanding of autism. Filmed on location in Winnsboro, Louisiana, and Salt Lake City, Utah, the story follows a child through different stages of life while also reflecting the real challenges parents often face along the journey. This song is not about children with autism being “missing pieces.” Instead, it speaks to society’s need to grow in acceptance, compassion, and understanding of what autism truly is. These children are whole, extraordinary, and beautifully unique individuals—each with their own gifts and purpose. With autism diagnoses continuing to rise, awareness and involvement matter more than ever. Please consider supporting autism awareness in whatever way you can, whether through learning more, sharing this message, or offering support to families walking this path. Thank you for watching and for being part of the movement toward understanding. 💙
