Lyrics
[Verse 1] You pulled the paint from a canvas bag Chalk on your sleeve, old denim tag One last bus sighs at the corner store You mark the brick, then you give it more [Pre-Chorus] Blue wings climb where the gray wall stood A red sun spills through the neighborhood Someone slows down, then the whole block stays Watching your colors take shape in the haze [Chorus] Put your name in color, let the whole street see A bright wide world where the blank wall used to be Little hands point up, young hearts start to dream You turned this block into a living scene [Verse 2] A kid in a jacket asks how you began You pass them a brush and make room for their hand The corner shop owner brings coffee outside As strangers make space and gather beside [Pre-Chorus] Gold birds rise from the painted blue Every small wish finding room to come through They watch your last stroke, then they cheer your name And leave with a spark that won't leave them the same [Chorus] Put your name in color, let the whole street see A bright wide world where the blank wall used to be Little hands point up, young hearts start to dream You turned this block into a living scene [Bridge] Tomorrow that kid may paint something new A window of green, a sky split in two Your wall says begin, and they carry it on One color can wake a whole block before dawn [Final chorus] Put your name in color, let the whole street see A bright wide world where the blank wall used to be Little hands point up, young hearts start to dream You turned this block into a living scene Put your name in color, let the whole street see Now a hundred bright futures are starting to bloom [Outro] Brushes down, but the colors remain A wall full of tomorrow, outlasting the rain
