drawing a blank
and filling it in
this is where time begins
life is a canvas
you have to paint
you can make an outline
or just begin
you can't stop
and let them win
this is life
not a race
now hurry up
you've got fears to face
and dreams to chase
life is a canvas
you have to paint
you can make an outline
or just begin
you can't stop
and let them win
because life is yours
to start again
