"In Color"

I used to believe in only two things
The world was full of colors to crash down your dreams
And life should be done and thought out simply

Earlier this year I reminisced of my childhood
The twirling lights and shimmering shades
The way everything was beautiful in the most disorganized way

And I thought to myself, “Those were good times”
And I said to myself, “Things have to be black and white”
And I sang to myself, “It’s the only way to keep out the fright”

But, oh, how horribly wrong I was
The world is full of colors for our dreams to take shape
And life should be danced in, you should create your own fate

I’m taking control of my fear
Here I am, with my rainbow of dreams
Hues of black and blue to fill in my bruises

And my future personifies
The colors of the sunset, sunrise, and mid-afternoon sky
They scream to take control and finally arise

They will give me hope for the future
And hope for my life

There were words from a mind of black and white
That have decided to take flight
Because with a clash of bright thunder
My words are finally in color
