We share the fruits of life
We lie beneath this canopy
Why did we take that bite?
We cover up our shame
We walk in black and white
We turn this ground for hunger
Why did we take that bite?
Paint me with an endless sunrise
Paint me
Paint me, open my eyes
Paint me with the color of love
You took a walk on the planet
You gave us shade and light
You create mood and substance
How can I take a bite?
Paint me with an endless sunrise
Paint me
Paint me, open my eyes
Paint me with the color of love
Paint me, mark me up,
in these frail, dot-to-dot lines
Color me from one red stream
from which all others flow
Take my black and white and yellow
brown and pink and pain and sorrow
Take my black and white and yellow
brown and pink and hate and sorrow
Paint me with an endless sunrise
Paint me
Paint me, open my eyes
Paint me with the color of love
