The Rainbow, Gasoline, and Masks
I believe in being colorful- 
 I let the rainbow fill me up with its delicious 
 Vividness 
 And I let it spill out onto everything I touch 
 
 I believe in being myself- 
 I wouldn’t dare  
 Put on a mask and pretend 
 And, I wouldn’t dare to hide
 
 I believe in doing what scares me- 
 Even if I had another choice 
 ‘Cus I let fear in  
 I lead it straight into my core 
 Where it can shake my roots  
 And tear at my soul 
 But then, after it has left 
 There is nothing to be afraid of
 
 I believe in music- 
 The hum of distant guitar strings call to me, 
 They sing to me 
 I answer the call,
 Lay the guitar on my lap and
 Let the music take over my anatomy
 Let it reach every corner of my 
 Heart 
 Let it heat me right up like fire and gasoline 
 
 I believe in flying high
 I believe in having fun 
 I believe in me
