Cami's Rainbow song lyrics for the butterflies

"Cami's Rainbow" for the butterflies
*all proceeds from this song will
go to survivors of abuse

Nobody ever said it was going to be easy
and it's certainly never been easy for you
a little girl's dreams and innocence shattered...
at such a tender age
it's a wonder any soul could make it through
Everything they took from you
made you question what you have
and everything they said to you
still echoes in your head
and like a turtle in it's shell
you slipped inside to save yourself
but your volcano's gonna erupt on day

So come on out and let me in
it's not too late to begin
to say all the things you want to say

CHORUS
If the rainbow was your palette
and your canvas was the sky
how high would you fly, girl,
to paint the masterpiece of your life?
How high would you fly?

Remember when we used to play
dress up in roller skates and hide and seek
in the cornfields out back
whispering under the covers
about nightmares and secret dreams
oh, I would have done anything
to protect you
you know a wolf will heal its wounds
by howling at the moon
only people close their eyes
and hope it will go away soon
But baby sister I'm hear to say
the past don't disappear
it's with you every day
til you release your pain and
set yourself free

CHORUS
If the rainbow was your palette
and your canvas was the sky
how high would you fly, girl,
to paint the masterpiece of your life?
How high would you fly?

I knew you before your walls went up
I knew you before your rage
and I've always seen deep in your eyes
the warmth of a childs playful gaze

and it makes me wonder...
CHORUS
If the rainbow was your palette
and your canvas was the sky
how high would you fly, girl,
to paint the masterpiece of your life?
How high would you fly?
