Canvas




Everyone loves rainbows and sunshine
When we were not afraid to fight
For something extraordinary
Something not black and white

Paths are created from pencil sketches
Vaguely formed, but not all are permanent
They always end with a crock of gold
Starting colorless, flowing along the steady current

Bottles of paint are tossed into the wagon you pulled
Sealed with a warning, and never dared to use
Exhausted, you reach the top and look around you
Everywhere is covered in black, white, grey and blue

There are no rainbows, nor are there crocks of gold
Move on? No, your soul is too tired and numbed
Go on, because lost doesn't mean an all-time low
It just means that the right color has yet to be found
