Painting My Way Through the

text[Intro] [Acoustic guitar and soft ambient pads] [Verse 1] Red to settle my troublesome mind, Cut through the noise, leave the worry behind. Purple to ease the aches and the strain, Softening the heavy that still remains. [Chorus] [Build] Oh, I am painting my way through the dark Looking for light in the fade and the spark From the depths of the night to the break of the day Letting the colours wash it all away [Verse 2] Pink to level the peaks and the swells, Soften the sharp where the hurt still dwells. Green to quiet the shouting inside, Finding the place where the calm can hide. [Chorus] Oh, I am painting my way through the dark Looking for light in the fade and the spark From the depths of the night to the break of the day Letting the colours wash it all away [Bridge] [Cello and strings swell] Sky blue to see the past as it was, Midnight blue to let it settle as it must. Orange to light the way into the new, A single bright spark breaking into view. [Chorus] [Crescendo, full emotional intensity] Oh, I am painting my way through the dark Looking for light in the fade and the spark From the depths of the night to the break of the day Letting the colours wash it all away [Outro] [Music fades to soft acoustic guitar] And yellow for the warmth I want to hold A steady thread of faith to turn grey to gold. There’s always morning, and sunrise, and the colours of a new brave day.
