Take your paint brushes out from under the bed

Stay wide-eyed, my darling

After all, you've got the whole wide world to see

And when the walls finally fall,

The great cities will still be there, waiting for you and me

Stay curious, my dear

Don't let that little child within you disappear

We're afraid, but let's find a way to believe that it's a powerless fear

You feel like you're getting smaller

As the walls around you grow taller

But remember,

These walls were meant to fall

September always brings

A crisp and golden fall

Stay joyful, my darling

Take your paint brushes out from under the bed

It's time for you to use them again

This is far from easy

I don't know how long it will be

But while the walls enclose you and me,

Let's paint the world we want to see
