lyrics

Brushstrokes, strong hands
Never knows where it will end
When she begins
Move slow, focused
Each touch calculated
Each movement pristine
Her instrument silent
But somehow it knows what to say
Her lyrics the colorful pictures
She paints on the page

She's not afraid to make mistakes
They blend and fade away

So take this worry, the sorrow
And uncertainty
On where things should be
Stir up something
Beautiful from nothing
Fill it in with vibrant tones

Be not afraid to make mistakes
And profit from defeat

Teach these unsure
Hands to have confidence in
What they create
Paint sound, out loud
Without worrying how
It will turn out

Let the lines blur
The streaks in your eyes and on the paper
This is not the end
