When I'm down I just draw some roses   On a pretty piece of paper with my recipe alone   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      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   And 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      Power and grace, 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   [Incomprehensible]   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      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 alone   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
