A Better Idea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tom Shapiro, Marty Dodson
He hung the moon
Raised the sun
Made the lions walk
And the rivers run
Then he sat down, looked around
And thought a bit
Said, "it's all good but that ain't quite it"
So with his mighty hand he created man
And then
Chorus
He had a better idea
A much better idea
He made an angel like sweet perfume
A heavenly smile, someone who
Can light up a room with a heart so true
I thank God he created me
But when I look at you I see
He had a better idea
Thought I'd have to face
This world alone
Just walk through life
Without a hand to hold
And I accepted that
I said in fact it might be nice
To live my way
Now that's paradise
Be he knew all along
I was wrong
Repeat chorus (2x)
He had a better idea
God had a better idea
