Malpils

Water, wake me up 
It was the water 
That washed her skin.

Gravel stand me up 
It was the gravel 
That grazed her shins.

For now I see 
It\'s the gold in the leaves 
It\'s the green in the tree tops 
That stroke the sky\'s feet.

These are the colours,
The colours that we need 
To paint a life complete.

Mother, stands so proud
It was the mother 
She built her heart.

Father, smiles so loud 
It was the father 
Who made her laugh.

For now I see 
It\'s the blue in the sea 
It\'s the clear in her tear drops 
That meet smiling cheeks.

These are the colours 
The colours that we need 
To paint a life complete
