D A
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.
Bm
Watch your technique, as you go.
[Chorus]
Am7 Gmaj7/D
Step back and admire my view.
Gmaj7 Em7
Can I use the colors I choose?
Em Gmaj7/A
Do I have some say, what you use?
Gmaj7 C7 C
Can I get some greens and some blues?

D A
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 light.
Bm B Bm
Layers of color and time.
[Chorus]
Am7 Gmaj7/D
Step back and admire my view.

We're just like children, we're painted on canvases.
