John Lucas - Quilts, Coats, and Colors lyrics
[John Lucas - Quilts, Coats, and Colors lyrics]
He never has much been for colors
But I think that his colors are his children
And I want to live fearlessly
Believing nothing could ever hurt me
If I’d just love
If I’d just love relentlessly
And I don’t have an extravagant plan
For who I’ll be when I’m an older man
But the best adventures follow no maps
And when I was born a quilt was sewn
By the one who held my father
Before he had grown
Before he’d mеt my mother
And more werе made as our family grew
A name is just a name but it holds me to you
For there’s love in every letter
And my name says that I am light
And I want to learn how to fight
For the ones
This dark world has barred from hope
And I want to see with clear eyes
To see beauty underneath
Every painful disguise
I want the bravery to dream
But it’s not the coat that makes the dreamer
Nor the stitches of a quilt
It’s not the colors that you wear, son
It’s the colors that you’ve spilled
When you fight when you fight
When you fight fight for love
