Michelangelo

Try to count the colors
In a California sunset
try to imagine the colors of the leaves
In a New England fall
You’d see that
God painted better than
Michelangelo
God painted better than
Pablo Picasso
I took a swim in the ocean
I brought my underwater
Instamatic camera
Just to capture a glimpse
Of His work
The stroke of His brush
A piece of His canvas
God Painted better than
God painted better than anyone
(bridge)
There’s nothing new
Underneath the sun
Artistic emulation
Of things that have already been done
But you and I
We can see through that
It’s man second rate stab
At trying to recapture
The beauty of this world
Better than anyone
Better than anyone
Better than anyone
Better than anyone
