Episode Synopsis

Finally in this life there’s something worth living for
The purple painted child
I knew she was special from the moment I closed the door
The purple painted child
She was magical not malicious
The purple painted child
But if you knew her story you’d agree she had her reasons

Save a last round of applause for…
The urchin that could
Graced with hellfire eyes that see through a ruse
She’s my purple painted child

Usually when you see someone different you hesitate
The purple painted child
Her ambiance shone like a bouquet of electric flowers
The purple painted child
She was vibrant and exotic
The purple painted child
And if you took the time to listen you’d find her a miracle

Save a last round of applause for…
The urchin that could
Graced with hellfire eyes that see through a ruse
She’s my purple painted child

The water doesn’t come to her knees
But she cares enough to make everyone safe
She’s been dragged through mud
But she don’t care

Everything she touched shone in so many new colors
The purple painted child
They knew she was special because she brought everyone together
The purple painted child
She was peaceful and creative
The purple painted child
And if you know human nature you know why she soon was quieted

Save a last round of applause for…
The urchin that could
Graced with hellfire eyes that see through a ruse
She’s my purple painted child

The ones who fear always want to stifle the singular
The purple painted child
They knew she would change us if we only gave her a chance
The purple painted child
She's enthralling not malicious
The purple painted child
But to their eyes she never even had a chance
