In the shadows that she paints
Lie the stories she cant tell
But the trees she lights on fire
And the colors cast a spell
All the waiting its been hard
She picks at the food on her plate
Theres so much that he could give
Theres so much that he could take
All her life shes looked up to the clouds
For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground
One day soon she will be loved
Its written deep within her fate
And every generation gone
Will gather round to celebrate
From mouth to mouth will come the words
Year to year and face to face
From the hands down in the hurt
And in her intensive grace
She will raise the windows high
Let the light come streaming in
And though the wind will burn her eyes
She will learn to breathe again
All her life shes looked up to the clouds
For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground
For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
