Lyrics
The Kaleidoscope of Life
Roger Godden
VERSE
I built my World around the life that we had shared but now you’re gone
I’m in some sort of sadness season, never saw things going wrong
CHORUS
In the kaleidoscope of life
Through the struggles and the strife
The colours and the shapes I’ve come to see
Triangles, circles, blues and greens
This life has never seemed routine
But now as I’ve been looking back
Brightness slowly turned to black
BRIDGE
Give me a chance, I’ll give you freedom
All the things I know you’re needing
Glacial patterns from above
In the amidst of my intentions, truly I have been lamenting
The change in me will show my love
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT BRIDGE
