Back To Back

(Words & Music – Joe Pereira)

Tell me your story
sing it or paint it on a wall
speak of your glory
and tell me about your rise and fall
I know your journey is long
I know you’ll never stop moving on
I know I’ll always be here
always singing my song
while on the wall I see your…

…back to back display
as if to give your game away
all out to play
only time will wipe away

No need to shout out loud
no need to try to explain
say it in colours
so that I understand it
no need to spell it out
no need to shout about
say it in colours
so that I understand
your back to back display

Paint on the colours
every dab has a tale to tell
shouting in silence
the masterpiece you’ll never sell
but you ain’t here to gain
you’re not here to make a living
you’re here to give to the world
‘cause you’re all into giving
