lyrics

Mother I have been lost,
And oh brother I have found;
That the hardest things to hear in life,
They hardly ever make a sound.

I have seen the devil in my best friend.
I have found Christ in the most destitute of men.
I have seen hope littering the city streets.
and I see the weak masked in the elite.

If you want to call life black and white,
Than you better call it a coloring book.
It's filled with suggestive societal lines,
And blatant adolescent hooks.

That are begging and pleading,
For you to fill them in;
With the fires of our desires
That transpire while we sin.

So open your eyes and see the world for what it really is.
A picture, waiting to be painted by your happiness.
Let your blues bleed through and keep the reds in your chest.
Save those for the pieces you dont often share with the rest.

about

Christopher Hantman Massachusetts

Poet. Artist.
Writer of words.
Sometimes they are by themself,
or to music. Sometimes spoken, and sometimes sung. Sometimes screamed to the setting sun.
