ONE DAY I WAS WALKING ON THE STREET THAT WAS MINE
I SAW A COLOR LIKE PURPLE AND WINE
IT GREW AND TILTED AND INCIRCLED MY FACE
I KNEW IT HAD BECOME MY TIME TO BE CHANGED
I FELT ALL MY SENSES BEING STRECHED TO THE END
I WONDERED FOR A MOMENT THEN I FELT IN BEGIN
THE COLOR WAS TOMORROW BEFORE IT WAS LIVED
IT TOLD ME TO REMEMBER TO LOVE AND FORGIVE
AS I STOOD THERE EMPTY CONFUSED AND ALONE
I SMILED FOR THE COLOR FOUND SOME FRIENDS AND WAS GONE
THEY FILLED UP THE SKY LIKE VAN GOHH’S MIND
IT WAS PURE BEAUTY THE BIBLICAL KIND
I THEN TURNED MY GAZE TO THE WORLD AROUND ME
I SAW A PUPPY AND BOY PLAYING BESIDE ME
THE SUN SEEMED GOLDEN LIKE THE HAIR OF A CHILD
FEAR SEEMED TO DROP FROM THE SKY AND DIE
SO TAKE THE COLOR IN YOUR LIFE AND FEEL IT
MAKE YOUR HEART HOLD IT CLOSE AND SEAL IT
THEN TURN IT LOOSE TO PAINT YOUR LIFE
YOUR CHILDREN WILL GROW IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL LIGHT
FOR YOU ARE AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
THE COLOR
