A Better Idea

(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.

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.

He had a better idea

God had a better idea...
