Paint My Soul

To Frodo, who gave me strength to be a better writer

From inside the beauty grows

And it chooses to chase the rays

Chasing the colors of the sky

Peppering the emotions I struggle to achieve

What if I wanted to paint the sky colors of gold

And color the ocean the hues of my soul

Would you hold my hand and guide me through

Or would you crush my heart and tell me your truth

It escapes my mind like the greatest words

Set to the winds personal song

I hold my hands out in anticipation

Of lifting my body, I'm ready to soar

What if I wanted to paint the sky colors of gold

And color the ocean the hues of my soul

Would you hold my hand and guide me through

Or would you crush my heart and tell me your truth

I reach out for the stars, and fall short of the moon

My hands are burned from grabbing the sun

But I refuse to let go, I refuse to let go

Cause my tears are of hope, even if they sting with my pain

What if I wanted to paint the sky colors of gold

And color the ocean the hues of my soul

Would you hold my hand and guide me through

Or would you crush my heart and tell me your truth
