Song Lyrics - She Paints Her Body (with pictures from her mind)
A quiet girl standing behind the bar
With the questions in her hand
A soulful face with no expression
She knows more than we understand
Her mind adorned by color
She hangs the pictures on her body
Framed by soft skin
She doesn’t care if we see
It’s not how life is
It's what it can be
The girl who painted her body
Lives her life so free
Riding on her own green carpet
From the world where she lives
In a land of concrete and steel
Her life is about what she gives
For a moment she smiles
If only so slightly
She is listening to all of us
But controls her own destiny
It’s not how life is
It’s what it can be
The girl who colored her body
Living life so peacefully
I wonder if I could ever do it
And paint my body with my mind
I come from a destructive world
There are no answers for me to find
As I stand so close to her
I can see her inner beauty
I could never be like her
I already gave my soul away for free
Everyday when the sun settles down
She risks her life on the street
You would never know she was here
Except if you were lucky to meet
It’s not how life is
It’s what it can be
The girl with her life on her body
She is telling us to come and see
