Painted On Canvas

[Verse 1] We are like children, we're painted on canvases Picking up shades as we go We start off with gesso Brushed on by people we know Watch your technique as you go [Chorus] Step back and admire my view Can I use the colors I choose? Do I have some say what you use? Can I get some greens and some blues? [Verse 2] We're made by the pigment of paint that is put upon Our stories are told by our hues Like Motley and Bearden These masters of peace and life Layers of colors and time [Chorus] Step back and admire my view Can I use the colors I choose? Do I have some say what you use? Can I get some greens with my blues? We're just like children, we're painted on canvases [Verse 3] We are like children, we're painted on canvases Picking up shades as we go We start off with gesso Brushed on by people we know Watch your technique as you go [Chorus] Step back and admire my view Can I use the colors I choose? Do I have some say what you use? Can I get some greens and some blues? [Verse 4] We're made by the pigment of paint that is put upon Our stories are told by our hues Like Motley and Bearden These masters of peace and life Layers of colors and time [Chorus] Step back and admire my view Can I use the colors I choose? Do I have some say what you use? Can I get some greens and some blues? [Outro] We are just like children Woah, we are just like children We're just like children, we're painted on canvases Admire my view Admire my view We're just like children, like children, like children, like children, like children
