When I Make Something Real

Title: “When I Make Something Real”

Verse 1

Some days the light just fades away,

I lose my color, turn to gray.

But give me paint, a wall, a tune,

and I can chase the dark from the room.

Chorus

When I make something real, I breathe again,

in every stroke, I find a friend.

The hurt still hums, but it can heal,

when I make something real.

Verse 2

I’m not the type to run or hide,

I let the feelings roll inside.

They flow through hands, through song and hue,

it’s how I find my way back to you.

Chorus

When I make something real, I breathe again,

in every stroke, I find a friend.

The pain turns soft, the silence still,

when I make something real.

Outro (soft)

No masterpiece, no grand ideal —

just heart and hands, that’s all I feel.

And for a while, the world stands still…

when I make something real.
