Keeping it together in times of hardship. And realizing that it’s not so bad after all. Lighten up. We’ll be okay. As long as we stick to what we have…eachother.

What a beautiful life, in such a painful world,
I’m tired of being alive, through all the twist and twirls,
Oh, I act so crazy sometimes,
I lose control and lose my mind,
I got to make this life make sense,
So sick and tired of being bent,
I gotta build up some confidence,

CHORUS:
Paint a picture, watch it glow,
Take all the colors of our soul,
And take one look and see,
What a beautiful mess,
That gets put together, forever, and ever,
And we’ll always have eachother/

I’m sick and tired of being alone,
I put my thought in a song and a microphone,
And when I sing, you hear me sing,
Singing right here next to me,
With one heart and one accord,
You and I forever more,
Singing oh, and oohhhh………….

CHORUS:
Paint a picture, watch it glow,
Take all the colors of our soul,
And take one look and see,
What a beautiful mess,
That gets put together, forever, and ever,
And we’ll always have eachother/

Shoo-doo-wop, shoo-doo -wop-wop,
Shoo-doo-wop, ba-daahhh, ba-daahhh

When the music starts, it’s you and me,
L-O-V-E on the M-I-C,
Forget this life, this is all we need,
L-O-V-E on the M-I-C,
When I can’t stand, when I can’t breathe,
When I can’t see, when I’m not me,

CHORUS
