lyrics

V1
colors blend and dance with light
reflecting visions of her mind
as children on the canvas dance
under her watch

brush strokes delicate and strong
flow together in beautiful songs
as patterns swirl in rainbow hues
within her thoughts

C
she brings her dreams to life
painting in a world of stress and strife
from her small dark prison cell
a world her paintings never tell
as she creates beauty...
beauty in hell

V2
art becomes her only true escape
from her lifelong convicted fate
as she lets herself soar away free
beyond the walls

she gives paintings to her family
each rich with love they can keep
it is all of her that they can hold
throughout it all

C
she brings her dreams to life
painting in a world of stress and strife
from her small dark prison cell
a world her paintings never tell
as she creates beauty...
beauty in hell

B
others don’t believe the gentle wonder of her open heart
they don’t trust the inner beauty displayed in her art
they know her as a criminal not a woman with a past hard and wild
who made a mistake at nineteen when outrage saved her child

C
she brings her dreams to life
painting in a world of stress and strife
from her small dark prison cell
a world her paintings never tell
as she creates beauty...
beauty in hell
