Painted Words
Painted words from innocent souls
Can pierce the hardest hearts
The slightest touch of gentleness
Is where the poet starts
He can reach inside the deepest void
To redeem your memories
Give you back your hopes and dreams
And possibilities
He can wipe away your broken smile
From all the promises lost
He can paint tomorrow one more time
No matter what the cost
He can paint the heart to beat again
Though broken it may be
He can take the lies you carry inside
And show you honesty
He can dry the tears of liquid pain
That stains your pillow case
He can paint the sun to rise again
No matter what you face
Painted words from innocent souls
Know exactly what to say
If you'll listen to the poet's words
He'll chase the pain away
