lyrics

I see you goddess and I see you my god
Forgive our family who still see you not
They weren’t taught sight and they’re not yet there
We’re all in progress and some unaware
Of the beauty within plus around and between
Though I know we all know it inside somewhere deep
We’re boundless, capable, exquisitely able
To manifest reality from fictitious fable
Our mind’s acrylic and this world is our canvass
Remember this when you’re lectured on campus
Or when workin’ as you’re sweatin’ for the dough
The bank box holds credit but has not your soul
It found its start in the mind of a man
He followed up with the acts of his hands
A hot heart honed all he had
If there ever was one, that’s the magic lamp
Cuz
Some build giants with their will and their skill
Controlled corporations and Capitol Hill
But what can we build with the powers we hold?
They haven’t hit the limit, for there’s none to the soul!

So

Grab your pallet, paint the town red
The great and renowned never wait to be fed
Make your own crown you wear on your head
There’s time to slow down on the day that you’re dead
Grab your pallet, paint the town red
The great and renowned never wait to be fed
Make your own crown you wear on your head
There’s time to slow down on the day that you’re dead
Man

So

Dream that big but infuse great compassion
Flip the script on the fiercest of fascists
Build a rainforest through healing habits
Think it, conceive it, believe it, and have it
The mind’s acrylic and this world is our canvass
Tenochtitlan to the depths of Atlantis
Shaolin temples to The Eden Project
Do we walk this world as parasites or prospective prophets?
It’s all open to us either direction
I wish you beauty and a positive progression
I’m building up towards this gorgeous ascension
Let’s walk there together if you feel like steppin’
Cuz
Some build giants with their will and their skill
Controlled corporations and Capitol Hill
But what can we build with the powers we hold?
They haven’t hit the limit, for there’s none to the soul!

So

Grab your pallet, paint the town red
The great and renowned never wait to be fed
Make your own crown you wear on your head
There’s time to slow down on the day that you’re dead
Grab your pallet, paint the town red
The great and renowned never wait to be fed
Make your own crown you wear on your head
There’s time to slow down on the day that you’re dead
Grab your pallet, paint the town red
The great and renowned never wait to be fed
Make your own crown you wear on your head
There’s time to slow down on the day that you’re dead
Grab your pallet, paint the town red
The great and renowned never wait to be fed
Make your own crown you wear on your head
There’s time to slow down on the day that you’re dead
Man.
