Lyrics
PAINT (Dare to be Free)
Lonely and lost - what a surprise
I met a man painting alone in the sun with such love in his eyes
How do you do it? Make it look so alive
Make it so beautiful - I want to cry
(He said)
It's just that I paint what's in my mind
And the colour comes to me
When it's that colour's time
And the brush dips and weaves
And the canvas is me
Miracles happen - When you dare to be free
I walked out the door - Took my chance on a fall
Somehow I knew if I stayed I'd be nothing and nowhere at all
So I choked back the sadness - And I held my head high
Cause only the beautiful - should make me cry
And I started to paint - Paint with my life
And the colours came to me - Cause it was their time
And I danced in the leaves - And the canvas was me
A Miracle happened - Cause I dared to be free
Dare to Believe - Dare to be free
Free all the colours in me
He said
It's just that I paint what's in my mind
And the colour comes to me When it's that colour's time
And the brush dips and weaves - And the canvas is me
Miracles happen - When you dare to be free
