Song Description
In life you should not be afraid to be who you are and explore the unchartered territory that stems from that; even if it means the possibility of being misunderstood or losing everything. When you follow your heart and your passion you are often forced to be apart from those you might love or love you but there is also serenity in this, even if it is not easy to understand. Be honest with who you are and don't be afraid to paint your pictures in this world, sleep in comfort knowing that you are the path to becoming everything you were meant to be.

Lyrics
verse:
sleep tight my distant lover, till all your dreams are gone
sleep tight my seventh wonder, listen to the words of another song
chorus
don't be afraid to paint your pictures on the wall
it's better to be misunderstood then to never be heard at all
don't be afraid to paint your pictures on the wall
cause your hands have made you who you are
verse:
sleep tight my restless calico soul
tonight sleep in peace
but awake, with sweet naivity upon your face
chorus:
don't be afraid to paint your pictures on the wall
it's better to be misunderstood then to never be heard at all
don't be afraid to paint your pictures on the wall
cause your hands have made you who you are
bridge:
sleep
sleep
sleep
sleep
chorus:
don't be afraid to paint your pictures on the wall
it's better to be misunderstood then to never be heard at all
don't be afraid to paint your pictures on the wall
cause your hands have made you who you are
