Jamie Marich: Music

Before I was born, mother read me stories
Sang me songs of what this world ought to be
So I took the pieces of beauty I had,
And began this song with my life.

Laughter, paint me a picture
Joy, sing me a song
My dreaming, sail me to freedom
To be loved all the day long

Mother said it was works, my dad said faith alone
But with every debate God seemed farther away
So I escaped in my head,
where they didn’t care what I did
There I was special just because

Laughter, paint me a picture
Joy, sing me a song
My dreaming, sail me to freedom
To be loved all the day long

After so many years of living my own stories
Reality was too painful to bear
When I could no longer breathe, something better came
And it changed this song in my life:

Laughter, paint me a picture
Joy, sing me a song
Loving spirit, sail me to freedom
To be loved all the day long
