Wemindji Community - Paint The Hills Lyrics

There is love in the air, and I can't really help it
But I can tell you bout a trap that I fell in
Cause I'm the type of guy that wants to feel a rush
Sitting around and doing nothing ain't enough
I've seen so many older guys, acting rezed out
But those the type guys that I forget now
Cause I just wanna rise, and be a better man
Not looking at tomorrow, today's a better plan
I'm just a young guy that's 16, with big dreams
And if I die tonight, I want y'all to miss me
So that means I wanna make you feel good
I had a rough past but I'll still look
Learn as my journey keeps walking on
I have a great dad, I have an awesome mom
Wanna discover where I'm from and make it real
I wanna be remembered, it's time we paint the hills

You are not alone
I have seen the same
We're all in need of hope
Don't want to feel this pain
Let's take back what is owned
Paint the hills with grace
And share what is untold

The truth has slipped your ears
Hold on
Fallen off the edge
Hold on
Conquering our fears
Hold on
All the years we've spent
Hold on

So much hatred in this world, I feel we'll fade to dark
Unless we're changing what we're seeing in our lives
I want plant this flag on up the hill, and make my mark
My heart is overwhelmed with thoughts so I speak my mind
These demons in my head, I say leave me alone
I'm praying to the lord that you could save me still
Life's a metaphor, so I relate and read these poems
I wanna be remembered, it is time we paint the hills

You are not alone
I have seen the same
We're all in need of hope
Don't want to feel this pain
Let's take back what is owned
Paint the hills with grace
And share what is untold

Going with the wind
Follow what we see
Losing our direction
I can't leave

My life is closing in
The future can redeem
Take back what is destined
And let us be free

You are not alone
I have seen the same
We're all in need of hope
Don't want to feel this pain
Let's take back what is owned
Paint the hills with grace
And share what is untold
