Lyrics
PAINT THE GRAY AWAY
Bonnie Warren/ Clayton Jones; BW 615-636-3609; Bonniearrenmusic@gmail.com
When your pockets are empty
And people are greedy
And you feel like you can't be, who you, really are
When you speak up for justice
And nobody listens
Cuz they're too busy thinking
How to get what they want
Give me your hand, (so together) we can
Chorus:
Paint the grey away, with colors
Paint the rain away, with the sun
Paint the pain away with healing
Paint the hate away, with love
Paint the grey away
What you dream in hour mind, you can see (make) come alive
With a hope and drive, you can be the change
(Start to) bridge separation with real conversation
Make friends out of strangers, everyday
Reach out your hand, so together we can
Chorus: repeat
Bridge:
Look outside yourself
Help somebody else
Chorus repeat
