Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors in our skin
We were light and paper thin
And when we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors on our skin
Till we let the spectrum in
[Verse 2]
Say my name and every color illuminates
We are shinin' and we will never be afraid again
Say my name
We are shinin'
[Verse 3]
And when we come for you
We'll be dressed up all in blue
With the ocean in our arms
Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms
And when it's time to pray
We'll be dressed up all in gray
With metal on our tongues
And silver in our lungs
[Verse 4]
Say my name and every color illuminates
We are shinin'
Say my name
We are shinin' and we will never be afraid again
Say my name as every color illuminates
We are shinin' and we will never be afraid again
Say my name and every color illuminates
We are shinin' and we will never be afraid again
