hologram

amalee

paint for me a perfect scene as pure as white can be

showing me a world like nothing i have ever seen

whoa

when i was a child

i never stood still

always finding adventure on those hills

my map was always changing with each passing day

i'd too many dreams to count

help me out

i'd shout to the sky

as i wondered if someday i could fly

even though back then

my steps

they were small

i dreamed of a leap

thought i was strong

but i was wrong

learned that i was weak with one storm

making me feel small as the raindrops start to fall

ricocheting up into my heart

i can see a million rays of light as they collide

lighting up the world in every direction

but then they vanish

right before my eyes

and all that's left's the afterimage burned inside mind

showing me a world like nothing i have ever seen

why did we try to cover all those bright memories?

like they were things we didn't want to see

but the home we cherished lived inside our dreams

and that beauty i can't speak for

but it was more beautiful

than a sky full diamonds

so magical

and even now i haven't found a single thing anywhere

that could compare

this scenery we've been painting

it portrays the pain in our lives

but i think it's time that together

you and i

paint a future

colorful and bright

even if i lose my way and stumble on this road

all my cuts and bruises won't last forever

i'm getting stronger

that for sure

i know

paint for me a perfect scene as pure as white can be

showing me a world like nothing i have ever seen

i can only tremble where i stand

looking at a perfect hologram

i can see a misty sky

in a rainbow-color light

whoa

even far away

i hear it calling me

yeah!

whoa!

finally

the rain begins to clear one afternoon

and it's like the light is reflecting from heaven

sneaking a glimpse out

just for me and you

and it's like a watercolor dream with every hue

showing me the beauty that i was too blind to see

all because this world's like nothing i have ever seen
