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

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

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

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
