This song is about starting over from mistakes and guilt through the Power of YHWH (GOD)
lyrics
Anthony Michael Garcia's Hook:
No more looking back I can't change what's in the past all i'm promised are these moments I have today. I'm starting over new nothing that I have to prove moving forward i've been given a clean slate... I'm a BLANK CANVAS YAHWEH I PLACE MY PAINTBRUSH IN YOUR HANDS SO YOU CAN PAINT A BETTER MAN... I'm a blank Canvas and I can't wait to see what you'll make in my future you create... I'm a Blank Canvas
Jacob's Verse:
I can't write, I can't sleep so what's left, I can't paint, I can't think to save my breath (2) everything seem whack should I toss it/ it's been a few months, have I lost it (4) it seems that we've been down this path/ and when it's over it's the past I just laugh (6) now I want new laughter, and new chapters, can't escape the cave to get to the pastures (8) to be free is aim/enjoying life without a name to be blamed (10) a lot of stuff I want to get out in the open/I feel I've been drowning in this ocean (12) all along without a raft or the coast Guard/doing time behind bars without a post card (14) Guess life got a hold on me/tight grip won't let me be/i guess i'm into deep (16) yeah guilt eats like a great white/but I hear Yahweh can heal a great bite (18) so i'm taking my chances with these strokes/can't paint with that's hands cause I'll coke (20) so i'm placing the canvas at your feet/thought I was strong but really I was so weak (22) a child in my ways so I thought I was (Pablo) Picasso/foolish of me every child think he knows so (24) Proverbs 3 read verse 5/ got it written in my heart now i'm so alive (26) draw graffiti on me, long as they can read it in me, you're the painter ABBA obviously the one and only (28) but they don't hear me they wanna hear what's practical/but they don't understand how you can be magical (30)
Bridge:
Use me as an instrument/paint brush or a pencil then, just let the work begin/ use me like the ink in the pen/ Father let your work begin....Repeat
