Rio Diamond - 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

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
