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
