Song Description

Give a kid a crayon, and they'll colour you a whole new world.

Crayola Boy

As much as death always follows life
As much as healing follows pain
As much as love has to follow heart

The first breath is in, followed by out

We’ve taken the smell of fear out of death
We’ve taken the feeling of hurt out of pain
We’ve taken the bleeding of heart out of love
We’re kicking the breath of life out of soul

The first breath is in, followed by out

‘s like closing the barn door after the horse
like buying insurance after the flood
like knowing that someday the world won’t change

the first breath is in, followed by out
I took that first breath…

We’ve taken the hurt out of love and pain
We’ve taken the hurt out of love and words
They’re taking the words out of books
And out of pens
And pencils
Chalk

I’m a Crayola Boy
