Painted On Canvas Lyrics - Be Good - Gregory Porter

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 step as you go 

Step back and admire my view 

Can you use the colors I choose? 

Do I have some say what you use?

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

Do I have some greens and some blues? 

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 color and time 

Step back and admire my view 

Can I use the colors I choose? 

Don't I have some say what you use? 

Can I get some greens with my blues?
