Lyrics
Strokes of genius, they flow from my hands (from my hands)
The sunflowers bend, in the fields they stand
A starry night overflows from my mind
In the heart of the canvas, my dreams are enshrined
I'm mixing my pains with shades so bright
On this palette of life, I'll fight my good fight
Hey, hey, hey, paint me a starry night view
[Verse 2]
I’m lost in a field full of yellow and blue
I put down my feelings, no need for a fight
On canvas, I bare all my soul in the light
The colors, they swirl, they dance, and they blend
Arles brings a peace I don’t need to pretend
My ears might not hear but my heart's full of sound (full of sound)
I'm screaming in silence, in color I'm found
Hey, hey, hey, let the paint be my voice
[Chorus]
Sing me a portrait, let the blues make its choice
Vivid as visions that come in the night
In the brushstrokes I'm free, in the oil lies my might
Oh, dear brother, with your letters in hand (in my hand)
The love and the pain, the life you withstand
Haunted by shadows, chased by the light (by the light)
In the pulse of the day, and the whisper of night
Chorus:
The world might be blind, to the things that you gave
A tortured mind, so wildly brave (wildly brave)
Through turpentine, in color, you bathe
Banish the grey, with every stroke, you're bold
You pay the price, with madness, you've sold
Hey, hey, hey, chase the sun, reckless and young
[Verse 3]
With every hue you pour out your cries
In the South of France, where the olive trees sigh
A man in a room, with just paint and the sky
A vision so clear, with each hue's reply
He tells his tale, with a tear and a lie
Heart on the canvas, soul's desperate try
In every stroke, a piece of him dies
Brilliant madness, in every line (in every line)
Where cobalt sorrow and the ochres align
The tortured genius, so ahead of his time
In the pulse of each brushstroke, his legacy's prime
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, paint the world, take your stand
With every color, you defy life’s demand
