Hope In A Painted Sky


don't take for granted your second chances
don't waste away her efforts to make amends
she may well be all that's left when all of this ends

you drown your sorrows in a sea of dreams
talk is cheap when she listens and believes
your empty promises like devalued currency
 
take a look around you, take a look behind you
don't let your past dictate your future
use its lessons to guide and remind you

if you so chose to believe and see
there's hope inside a painted sky
there's hope hidden behind her grey eyes

the dust is starting to settle
the smoke starting to clear
grab ahold of your life and let go of your fears 

take a look around you, take a look beside you
she's been there the whole time
quietly begging for only your heart
And the promise of another fresh start
