Lyrics Indulge in Color - Redemption

Indulge in Color

I thought this strand was ours
That one day we would meet along its shore
That future is foreclosed
Denied me like a thousand more
It’s over, the dream is gone
Out of reach for me after all
Preserved in perfect pain
They must have changed the way the game is played
Or I never knew the rules
I could see the prize within my grasp
And watched it slip away from view
I could try to second-guess myself
Or learn what kept me from the goal
Unless I see the point was not to have
The point was just to grow
Was just to grow!
What if there’s no purpose served by blame
By me or someone else?
If I fear a world in black and white
I misunderstood the cause
The problem is the lens
The issue is perspective
(Perspective)
Perspective!
And what if there’s no purpose served by blame
Of me or someone else?
No more blackened window panes
I choose life in color
No excuses, unafraid
I will live in color
I face the light of day anew
Full of possibility
I can choose to change my view
I will live in color
No more need for blame
I will own my choices
I will light the flame
And I will live in color
I can try to take the world
And bend it to my will
But that’s only a partial answer
There’s beauty in the ebb and flow
Grace in our missteps
If we see with open eyes
Realize there’s no purpose
To be served by blame
Let it go and open wide your eyes
Lean into the ebb and flow
Embrace it when you fall
To rise again
A fuller spectrum lights the day
Strengthens it with color
Riches of a better way
Living life in color
I face the light of day anew
Full of possibility
I can choose to change my view
I will live in color
No more need for blame
I will own my choices
I will light the flame
And I will live in color
Unconfined by darkness
Unlimited by black and white
A world illuminated
I will see the color
In one life or many
Each moment is a masterpiece
I select the view
And I will live in color
Color!
I will live in color!
Color!
