Texas Orange Horizon

I’ve been told of the lovely biblical times of old
I learned my lessons of being cheery and bold
Once again, I want you to set my spirits free
I don’t want you to let go of me, let go of me

In the Texas orange horizon
Is where I roam, I wanna come home
I want to embrace you in the sun
I wanna come home, I’m all alone…
With serene strangers on my mind sometimes
I’m left behind with my family by my side at all times 

The Texas orange horizon
Is painted upon our eyesight, hon
Where have you gone?
You’re my awesome horizon and I can’t move on
But make me done
Make me done,
My Texas orange horizon
We welcome you, sun
We’ll be like kids, running round, having fun…
We’ll be like kids, playing lost and found before the dawn

I’ve been cold in your lack of touch in this journey
I burned the pages of my journal to set my anxiety free
Once again, I’m an artist without art in my hands
We are wandering in unknown lands, unknown lands

In the Texas orange horizon
Is where I roam, I wanna come home
I want to embrace you in the sun
I wanna come home, I’m all alone…
With serene strangers on my mind sometimes
I’m left behind with my family by my side at all times 

The Texas orange horizon
Is painted upon our eyesight, hon
Where have you gone?
You’re my awesome horizon and I can’t move on
But make me done
Make me done,
My Texas orange horizon
We welcome you, sun
We’ll be like kids, running round, having fun…
We’ll be like kids, playing lost and found before the dawn

Set my solace wings free…
Let’s see what happiness brings to me
Let go of all worries, baby
And paint me the Texas orange horizon for an eternity
For an eternity

In the Texas orange horizon
Is where I roam, I wanna come home
I want to embrace you in the sun
I wanna come home, I’m all alone…
With serene strangers on my mind sometimes
I’m left behind with my family by my side at all times 

The Texas orange horizon
Is painted upon our eyesight, hon
Where have you gone?
You’re my awesome horizon and I can’t move on
But make me done
Make me done,
My Texas orange horizon
We welcome you, sun
We’ll be like kids, running round, having fun…
We’ll be like kids, playing lost and found before the dawn

We are lost and found in the horizon
We are longing to belong in the sun
We are delightfully roaming a long way
I’m a long way home, but I’ll become done someday

I can't hear a particular tune for this in my head, but I imagine it sings pretty well!
