Description
This song is a story about an artist who paints in order for others to say she is good enough. When she puts those fears to rest, and remembers her ability to influence, inspire, move and create, her paintings begin to flow and sing with greater ease and purpose.
Lyrics
The Canvas written by Bianca Merkley She looks at the canvas, so clean and white. Sees nothing at all, no hope left in sight. She picks up the paintbrush, dips it in deep, Puts it on paper and lets the paint sing... La di di da, la di da, la di di da, la di da (x2) She puts down the paintbrush with fear in her eyes. What if nobody likes it, and what if nobody buys? She drops her head to her hands, approval weighing her down When from out of the silence comes that familiar sound… La di di da, la di da, la di di da, la di da (x2) She looks at the canvas, she remembers her purpose, So she picks up the paintbrush, dips it in deep and shakes all the fears off and lets the paint sing… La di di da, la di da, la di di da, la di da (x2)
