What is the color of truth?
The color of beauty?
What is the color of grace?
Are my eyes capable of seeing
Seeing such, such things?
Or, do I need god-sight?
Yet, there are times, times
When surprisingly, my earthly eyes
See all the splendor there is
Because it is there, all there
All around me, and inside me
These times I cry, I cry
I raise my head and tears stream down
And I see all the colors,
All the splendid colors there are
