Paint It Black Headfirst
I will be heavy like stone to hold you down.
Weightless like wings to lift you from the ground.
I will be flesh and bone, fragile and frail,
And I will be the wind when it’s time to set sail.
Headfirst, kicking and screaming.
Naked and afraid into this world we’re thrown.
You might feel out of place sometimes,
But you’ll never be alone.
Beneath these petals, thorns.
They’ll try to buy away your hopes and dreams,
But all that glitters isn’t what it seems.
It’s never enough to be strong; be brave and smart.
Smart enough to be afraid; brave enough to lead with your
heart.
Headfirst, kicking and screaming.
Naked and afraid into this world we’re thrown.
You might feel out of place sometimes,
But you’ll never be alone.
