Life can be so hard when you have no one by your side
But when I'm here I feel as though the stars are mine
And when the river runs, I see the colors of my life
And when the night is over I rise up and chase the sky
Oooooh, hard for me to smile when I break down
Oooooh, but when my heart breaks out
I'll paint the town
Working day and night to make ends meet
Feels like there's no one there for me
But then again, I have myself
And that is all I'll ever need
'Cause when the river runs, I see the colors of my life
And when the night is over I rise up and chase that bright blue sky
Hard for me to smile when I break down
But when my heart breaks out
I'll paint the town
Oooooh, when my heart breaks out
I'll paint the town
When the river runs
I'll chase the sky
And when my heart breaks out
I'll paint the town
