[Verse 1] You drew a doorway on the kitchen wall Aqua ribbons climbing tall Purple eyes taking in the room Pink-blue sparks in a paper bloom [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Don’t tame the morning yet” With a marker grin and a crooked silhouette [Chorus] Paint it loud, paint it wild Every color has a child Turn the white space into sky Let the little thunder fly Paint it loud, don’t explain Make a garden from the rain If the world comes looking for you Leave a brighter trail to follow [Verse 2] Your hair went racing past the frame No two lightning bolts the same Blue collar, sleeves rolled high A whole bright weather system in your eyes [Pre-Chorus] You said, “A blank page isn’t bare” It’s just waiting for a brave idea to get there [Chorus] Paint it loud, paint it wild Every color has a child Turn the white space into sky Let the little thunder fly Paint it loud, don’t explain Make a garden from the rain If the world comes looking for you Leave a brighter trail to follow [Bridge] When the grown-up colors fade to gray Put your small brave hands away? No—keep them open anyway There’s more than one good way to say “I’m here, I’m here, I’m here today” [Final Chorus] Paint it loud, paint it wild Every color has a child Turn the white space into sky Let the little thunder fly Paint it loud, don’t explain Make a garden from the rain If the world comes looking for you Leave a brighter trail to follow [Outro] Aqua at the doorway, blue across the floor Pink on the sleeve, and a little more You look up laughing, colors running free The whole white world has room for thee
