Along the picture frame I run my hands Worn and calloused by The years without giving a thought And I mirror all the rest Now I stand beneath the willow trees While they weep inside On the edge of the lake Casting stones to make the waves
It's all the same All the back and forth Between the hopes and dreams An empty chair, the word not said The navigator on a ship of lead And you will dream of sunrise And honest eyes but soon you will realize That everyone feels in black and white
And all this time you were waiting for A way to show the world All the colors that were bleeding through And in your mind And you were made to give up all yourself And you were made to feel this world in color
I'm on a ledge on a wing On the back of a wave And all I ask is when I crash To reap no shame For all the fear And all the guilt And all the cheers I did create I did create in your world
