Where the Colours Come From

I thought the light was something I would find

Somewhere ahead, just out of reach

I chased reflections in other people's lives

Trying to borrow what I couldn't keep

That's when I saw it clearly

The colours start in me

Every step I choose to take

Is shaping what I see

I don't need a perfect sky

To let the daylight through

I'm learning where the colours come from

And they come from you

I spent too long believing I was late

Like joy had already passed me by

But every moment waits for me to stay

And open up my hands instead of time

Now I see it clearly

The colours start in me

Every word I dare to say

Is changing what I see

I don't need a perfect sky

To let the daylight through

I'm learning where the colours come from

And they come from you

If the world feels out of focus

I'll adjust the way I stand

I don't need to change the picture

Just the way I understand

That's where the colours come from
