Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It took a long time to get to this place
And now that I'm here, no one can ever erase-
The joy that I feel way down deep inside
The love that I have for me will never never die ie ie

I can see in color
The first sign of spring, the rose buds are blooming
I got a new song new song to sing
Life looks so amazing I never knew that it could open my eyes
And for the very very first time I can see in color
Mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm

Everything looks beautiful sky so baby blue
I'm anxious to know where the rest of this road will gooo
If April showers bring flowers then I need I need more rain
To quench the drought in me so rain on me rain on me

I can see in color
The first sign of spring the rose buds are blooming
I got a new song a new song to sing hey-ey life looks so amazing I never knew that it could open my open my eyes
And for the very very first time I can see

I can see in color yes the first sign the first signs of spring
It looks so beautiful to me I can see I can see I can see I can see in color
Sky so baby blue so baby blue
I can see I can see
I can see in color the first sign of spring and now the rose buds are blooming I can touch them I can feel them Ima hold them forever and ever and ever and ever
And ever Ima hold em ever Ima be forever

I can see I can see I can see I can see I can see I can seeeeeeeee yeah




I can see see in color, color color color
