Colourful

Don’t let yourself start thinking
That darkness is all you are
You feel trapped without with colour
You don’t want to feel these scars
Open up the windows
Let in the light
Free yourself from darkness
Brighten up the night

In this world of colour
There’s always a hidden darkness
Black and white and grey
Take their chance to come and play
But in this world with darkness
The colour will shine through	
It will bring out the colourful in you
Yes it will bring out the colourful in you

Don’t let yourself start thinking
You aren’t worthy of the light
You listen too much to others
Who speak purely out of spite 
Don’t trap yourself in the dark
You will only get cold
Its time to stop hearing
All that you’ve been told 

In this world of colour
There’s always a hidden darkness
Black and white and grey
Take their chance to come and play
But in this world with darkness
The colour will shine through	
It will bring out the colourful in you
Yes it will bring out the colourful in you
