lyrics

“Empty Meadow”
By Triple S
Lyrics by Rukya, Italia, Bethany, & Medina
Band Leaders: Rachel Grimes & Carter Wood Sartor

“LIFE ISN’T FAIR BUT HOPE CAN MAKE THE CHANGE”

Verse 1
I walk through the meadow to clear my mind
Tears like a tsunami, rushing down

I’ve lost all the color in my life
Just like the sunset, fading out

CHORUS
Hopeful means red like a fire
That tries to die out faster than you will allow

Trying hard to ease the pain
But the pain keeps coming back, just like the rain

Verse 2
All these scars upon my heart
Feels like I’m falling, falling apart

I can see those shadows in the dark
They’re just teardrops of a broken heart

CHORUS 2
Hopeful brings a yellow sun
Warmth for everyone, to laugh along

Shining til the night falls
Bright like a soft hijab, the story never stops


My heart is broken
Which piece do I follow


CHORUS 3
Hopeful brings blue like the sky
Blooms and comes to life, just wait and see

I see the pretty flower in the weeds
No more crying, it says to me
