The Artist Inside

[Verse 1]

When I opened my eyes you were smiling

You were standing by my mothers side

Just one touch of your hand made the bright lights

Seem less blinding in this foreign land

[Pre-Chorus]

I swam the oceans, I saw the cities

I climbed the mountain tops and you were with me

And when I came home, your arms were open

And I felt protection in that moment

[Chorus]

In your own way, with your own two hands

You gave me everything I needed every single time

So I say hey, even in hard times

You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind

In your own way, with your own two hands

You gave me everything I needed every single time

So I say hey, even in hard times

You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh, my father

Oh, oh, my father

Oh, oh

[Verse 2]

A single word, a simple glance

Could bring me home at any given time

And I'm fine again, I'm standing fearless now

Yes I'm home again my feet won't leave the ground

So I say finally I can hear the sound

Of the blood that courses through me that you handed down

[Chorus]

In your own way, with your own two hands

You gave me everything I needed every single time

So I say hey, even in hard times

You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind

In your own way, with your own two hands

You gave me everything I needed every single time

So I say hey, even in hard times

You are the hope that I believe in, you're my peace of mind

[Bridge]

I swam the oceans, I saw the cities

I climbed the mountain tops and you were with me

And when I came home, your arms were open

And I felt protection in that moment

[Instrumental]

[Post-Chorus]

In your own way, with your own two hands

You gave me everything I needed every single time

So I say hey, though you're not here now

You are the artist inside me now I understand
