The Artist Inside
When I opened my eyes, you were smiling
You were standing by my mother's side
Just one touch of your hand made the bright lights
Seem less blinding in this foreign land
I swam the oceans, I saw the cities
I climbed the mountaintops and you were with me
And when I came home, your arms were open
And I felt protection in that moment
In your own way, with your own two hands
You gave me everything I needed every single time
So I say hey, even in hard times
You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind
In your own way, with your own two hands
You gave me everything I needed every single time
So I say hey, even in hard times
You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind
Oh-oh, my father
Oh-oh, my father
Oh-oh
A single word, a simple glance
Could bring me home at any given time
And I'm fine again, I'm standing fearless now
Yes, I'm home again, my feet won't leave the ground
So I say finally I can hear the sound
Of the blood that courses through me that you handed down
In your own way, with your own two hands
You gave me everything I needed every single time
So I say hey, even in hard times
You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind
In your own way, with your own two hands
You gave me everything I needed every single time
So I say hey, even in hard times
You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind
I swam the oceans, I saw the cities
I climbed the mountaintops and you were with me
And when I came home, your arms were open
And I had protection in that moment
In your own way, with your own two hands
You gave me everything I needed every single time
So I say hey, though you're not here now
You are the artist that's inside me, now I understand
You were standing by my mother's side
Just one touch of your hand made the bright lights
Seem less blinding in this foreign land
I swam the oceans, I saw the cities
I climbed the mountaintops and you were with me
And when I came home, your arms were open
And I felt protection in that moment
In your own way, with your own two hands
You gave me everything I needed every single time
So I say hey, even in hard times
You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind
In your own way, with your own two hands
You gave me everything I needed every single time
So I say hey, even in hard times
You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind
Oh-oh, my father
Oh-oh, my father
Oh-oh
A single word, a simple glance
Could bring me home at any given time
And I'm fine again, I'm standing fearless now
Yes, I'm home again, my feet won't leave the ground
So I say finally I can hear the sound
Of the blood that courses through me that you handed down
In your own way, with your own two hands
You gave me everything I needed every single time
So I say hey, even in hard times
You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind
In your own way, with your own two hands
You gave me everything I needed every single time
So I say hey, even in hard times
You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind
I swam the oceans, I saw the cities
I climbed the mountaintops and you were with me
And when I came home, your arms were open
And I had protection in that moment
In your own way, with your own two hands
You gave me everything I needed every single time
So I say hey, though you're not here now
You are the artist that's inside me, now I understand
