In the shadows that she paints 
Lie the stories she can't tell 
But the trees she lights on fire 
And the colors cast a spell 

All the waiting it's been hard 
She picks at the food on her plate 
There's so much that he could give 
There's so much that he could take 

All her life she's looked up to the clouds 
For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground 

One day soon she will be loved 
It's written deep within her fate 
And every generation gone 
Will gather round to celebrate 

From mouth to mouth will come the words 
Year to year and face to face 
From the hands down in the hurt 
And in her intensive grace 

She will raise the windows high 
Let the light come streaming in 
And though the wind will burn her eyes 
She will learn to breathe again 

All her life she's looked up to the clouds 
For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground 
For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground
