Painting My Life (An American Idol Song In Progress)

It’s here The end of my rainbow There’s no pot of gold But yet a fortune for me It’s true The life that we’re living It can be much better But we must make it be That’s why I stand here before you Singing these words I so long to say And you You’re part of the rainbow The color so needed That changes my day So now, I’m painting my life With much varied hues A palette of color Nothing subdued And my eyes, They’re filled with this rainbow It has me on course And it’s all cause of you Yes, it’s true My life Is now painted with you The roads Were winding and rugged But I traveled and tried To make it to here I knew The goal was my prize then The end is the victory And now it’s so clear So now, I’m painting my life With much varied hues A palette of color Nothing subdued And my eyes, They’re filled with this rainbow It has me on course And it’s all cause of you Yes, it’s true My life Is now painted with you Bridge: You’re every color of the rainbow You’re the light in my eyes You’re the reason for being And the reason I try You’re the lilt in my singing The half of the whole You’re the end of my rainbow The mate of my soul So now, I’m painting my life With much varied hues A palette of color No, nothing subdued And my eyes, They’re filled with this rainbow It has me on course And it’s all cause of you Yes, it’s true My life Is now painted with you

Michael, this is seriously beautiful. When you say An American Idol Song - are you writing this for someone to audition? Yourself? I am curious cause if you are, you need to let us know so when the time comes we can all vote! Awesome song lyrics! Love, Shar
