Blue

(album: My Name Is Michael Holbrook - 2019)

Blue is a feminine color
Blue is deep and bold
Blue is like no other
As sacred as it's old

Blue like the ocean's water
But you're blue when it falls as rain
Blue for your sons, not your daughters
Blue not for pleasure but pain

All this to say that it's okay
No matter what life throws at you
I will always love the blue in you

I don't trust rainbows
Made by the sun
For a friend of many
Is a friend of none

Coming out of nowhere
But quick to end
Like any other
Fair weather friend

All this to say that it's okay
No matter what life throws at you
I will always love the blue in you

Green is pretty useful too
But not as deep and dark as blue
Red like the flame that burns in you
But the hottest part of it is blue

Yellow beams its joyful power
But bite a lemon, it tastes sour
Why are humans cruel to you?
You faithful friend, you truthful blue

All this to say that it's okay
No matter what life throws at you
I will always love the blue in you
