Joaquin De Castro - Visionary

I meet you in Paris on licorice roads
A smile on your face you left some paint on your nose
The colors would glisten and dance off the floor
The perfect picture in your head
Imagining how you're
Sketching out your subject drawn to golden proportions
The smile on your face conveying every emotion
A prodigy they claim without a cent to your name
You found the perfect start
A diamond in the rough the brightest planet at night
A marvel born from marble when the stars had aligned
And I've seen where you paint from afar
No ordinary visionary finishes what you start
I'll see you tomorrow displaying your show
Your smile left so beautifully embedded in stone
Expecting to follow your call on the phone
A visionary taking your time
Imagining how you
Push your brush along the page as light as a sparrow
And find the finer lines between the wide and the narrow
A steady hand supporting you it's hard to believe
You found the perfect start
A diamond in the rough the brightest planet at night
A marvel born from marble when the stars had aligned
And I've seen where you paint from afar
No ordinary visionary finishes but
Before your show I hear you calling out my name
All enthusiasm left your voice unused to newfound fame
You've never been this nervous and afraid that all they'll see
Is the kid with paint on their nose from the Paris streets
Searching through your heart to find the right explanation
Pairing each excuse you make with no information
Without the perfect start you fail to pick up your brush
I interrupt your thoughts and reply
No diamond in the rough is ever polished at night
And marble is so marvelous to sculpt in the light
And I've been there so I know it's hard
No ordinary visionary finishes but
Your works of art create a feeling I can't describe
And now you've taken steps for your career to take flight
I'm here with you I know you'll go far
My extraordinary visionary finishing what you start
Finishing what you start
