Covered Colors


I come from the dirty lands of Wyoming to the awesome sights of Colorado

I come from tingling winds to fiery air with a blink of an eye

Thats pretty awesome

I come from a mother and father never together but forever in love

A dstance faraway but never to long

It's pretty awesome

I come from a family so differently similar

I come from yellow stained walls and spotless counters

With memories in every mark

They're pretty awesome

I come from loud noises and daring movement

Thunderous meows in the late night of a homely bed

It's pretty awesome

I come from the loyalty and strength

Always there but never seen

I come from sympathy and independence

Stand for myself and others

I come from honor and beauty

A bright butterfly in the shadows

And that's pretty awesome

Because I come from the covered colors

Only some choose to see
