Lyrics
Paint the Truth
Music & Lyrics by Rachel Farris©2001
I paint with my voice
Where my brush hits I can’t erase
Instrument moves along the path my mind designates
I want to paint the truth
I just want to know the truth
I just won’t let go of my youth
And though I try the one thing I
Will never hold on to is my youth
Those who hear my art
Find the flaws I cannot shade
Colors years ago kept me from a renegade
What a work of art right out there for all to see
Masterpiece to some not a thing to do with me
I want to paint the truth
Artist or not
I can’t keep all I’ve got
Artist or not
I can’t keep all I’ve got
Artist or not
All that I’ve got is not my own
I want to paint the truth, the truth
I just want to paint the truth
Artist or not I can’t keep all I’ve got
Artist or not I don’t know all I’ve got
