When I'm down, I just draw some roses

On a pretty piece of paper

With my recipe open

So halfway through, I feel so much better

I imagine happiness, and it runs right to me, such amazing beauty

You don't have to, cut up no roses

Please just leave them living

Got my pencil, got pretty paper

Please don't worry we're forgiven



[Chorus:]

I have found, just the perfect feelin

Finally cause I'm grateful

I can feel your spirit, comin closer on me

It is grand, just to be reminded

Reminded of the good things

Living in a new day, that no one can tear down

You don't have to, cut up no roses

Please just leave them living

Got my pencil, got pretty paper

Please don't worry we're forgiven



Yellow for friendship, red for love

Black for the universal stars above

Pink buds that I bought her on Valentine

She said it was forever then she changed her mind

I said a little prayer then I cleared my eyes

Cause the ? 

Started off with a oget, natural poget

I ain't Picasso but that ain't important

Faith, smart dude never graduated high school

Stay tuned I'm a show you how my art move

Shape and dimension flow and extension

Symmetry shade, blowin out the frame

Sign off my name Dante when I'm finished

Put it to your memory for permanent exhibit

Love, hard work and it's worth every minute

Abstract is still life real life kinetic



[Chorus]



Got my pencil, got pretty paper

Please don't worry we're forgiven

You don't have to, cut up no roses

Please just leave them living



When I'm down, I just draw some roses

On a pretty piece of paper

With my recipe open

So almost through, I feel so much better

I imagine happiness, and it ran right to me, such amazing beauty

Got my pencil, got pretty paper

Please don't worry we're forgiven

You don't have to, cut up no roses

Please just leave them living
