Lyrics

Painting pictures with my mind Making memories using my eyes Filling up my heart with golden stories Who adds some spice to the rhythm of life Oooh, oooh Welcome sunrise with the morning glory I've changed my mind There is no simple I thought of me I want to see I wanna feel my heartbeat so With the world that you're feeling I can feel the pressure pushing onto my heart And it's teasing me To scratch my itch and to beat my drum So I can start to begin what's begun Painting pictures Filling up my heart with golden stories Painting pictures Filling up my heart with golden stories Running riots inside my soul Fire burning and it's lighting me up To scratch my itch and to beat my drum So I can finish what I have begun Painting pictures Filling up my heart with golden stories Painting pictures Filling up my heart with golden stories
