"A Better Idea" Lyrics

(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.

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...
