i paint these pictures
on my heart
of what life could have been
and i find myself without hope

i paint these pictures
on people i love
of what they should of been
and i find myself without grace from above

i paint these pictures
on my eyes
colored my world
with beautiful lies
of how it should have been
how it should have been done
leaving myself alone lost in despair

can i paint new pictures
on my own soul
reclaiming my destiny
telling stories left untold

can i paint new pictures
on the people i love
of what they are to me
and find myself full of grace from God above

can i paint new pictures
on my world
seeing the majestic creation
leaving behind false illuminations
find myself full and complete

can i paint a new picture
on my Creator
see Her for His wonder
pulling myself out of the group
and see the supreme in Her

with the colors of my heart
i paint new pictures
not knowing of the beauty
my own heart provides
the colors of blue
the color of freedom from the cage that locks my heart
the color of red
the color of a vibrant soul
the color of yellow
the color of a harmony of light
the color of green
the color of new blooming abundance

i paint with these new colors
and i see a new world
full of hope of the possiblities
full of love so unending i am left without comprehension
full of me of the truth of what i am
