Hunter Brookbank - Paint a Picture Lyrics

I see a letter on the floor
It told me to look at the wall
I see a picture of my father
Though I see nothing at all

My mother gave me all she wore
My father took it and much more
But we live with everything we've lost
Who are we to assign a cost
We paint a picture on the wall
It's up to us to be something
Or nothing at all

I see a book upon the shelf
Each page is numbered for itself
I look to your likeness for help
And if it doesn't come, oh well

I gave you everything you wore
But all you did was close the door
We live with ourselves and much more
We hope for everything in store
We paint a picture on the wall
It's up to us to be something
Or nothing at all

I see a person passing by
I wonder how they sleep at night
I look into a person's eye
I think I might be going blind

You trust the mirror to reflect
You should do more of that yourself
We need more love and life and truth
We need more of what is in you
We paint a picture on the wall
It's up to us to be something
Or nothing at all
