Our Colors - A Tragedy in Progress

First a number, then a name

Then for the rest of your life it’s the same thing

Lay your hands on me, let me receive

If we could only see the world through Jonas' eyes

Our colors would erase the emptiness inside

If we could only see the world through Jonas' eyes

Allow ourselves to feel the things we’ve learned to hide

Watching and waiting

Assigning each a rating

How have they chosen me?

Successor to a mentor

I’m not sure what I’m in for

Let’s start, first memory

Lay your hands on me — and let me receive!

If we could only see the world through Jonas' eyes

Our colors would erase the emptiness inside

If we could only see the world through Jonas' eyes

Allow ourselves to feel the things we’ve learned to hide

Showing me beauty, knowing to save the misery

Quit sparing me

In this town, emotions

Run dry, they’ve never felt anything

Do you think we can set them free?

My absence is the only way

You’ll find your peace

I’ve found release

First a number, then a name

Then for the rest of your life it’s the same thing

Lay your hands on me — and let me receive!
