Many Colors
Beautiful spectrum
Naked in a naked land
All the world can see
See me stripped of guilt
As burnt skin peeling away
I can see
I see a blind man walking by faith
I see me
All the world can see
And carry me through fallacies
Provide false support with ridicule
Try to take me down
Though my stance is regarded
Confrontation follows every step
While seeking agility elsewhere
Because I can remember how to love
How to admire beauty-- I remember
My soul has been stripped bare
And I want all the world to see
How she changed me for the better
