Little boy on the first day of school
Got some crayons and started to draw
He drew colors all over the paper
For colors was what he saw
And the teacher said.. "What you doin' young man?"
"I'm paintin' flowers" he said
"It's not the time for art, young man
And anyway flowers are green and red...
There's a time for everything young man
And a way it should be done
You've got to show concern for everyone else
For you're not the only one

And she said...
Flowers are red young man and
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen

But the little boy said...
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in a flower and I see every one

The teacher said.. You're sassy
There's ways that things should be
And you'll paint flowers the way they are
So repeat after me.....

And she said...
Flowers are red young man and
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen

But the little boy said again...
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in a flower and I see every one

The teacher put him in a corner
She said.. It's for your own good..
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And are responding like you should
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
And that little boy went up to the teacher
And this is what he said.. and he said

Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen

Time went by like it always does
And they moved to another town
And the little boy went to another school
And this is what he found
The teacher there was smilin'
She said...Painting should be fun
And there are so many colors in a flower
So let's use every one

But that little boy painted flowers
In neat rows of green and red
And when the teacher asked him why
This is what he said.. and he said

Flowers are red, and green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen.

But there still must be a way to have our children say
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in a flower and I see every one

So many colors in a flower and I see every one
So many colors in the morning sun
There are so many colors in the rainbow
But there still must be a way to have our children say

Than the way they always have been seen.
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Flowers are red, and green leaves are green

This is what he said.. and he said
And when the teacher asked him why
In neat rows of green and red
But that little boy painted flowers

So let's use every one
And there are so many colors in a flower
She said...Painting should be fun
The teacher there was smilin'
And this is what he found
And the little boy went to another school
And they moved to another town
Time went by like it always does

this is how we walk on the moon

deference, diminuend

gott sein '04

strange transmissions

bridge scene

head on home

dos lã¢grimas

solo un recuerdo

better luck next time

you don't have to say please

away in a manger

seconds, minutes, hours

fall

nowhere near

touched by jesus
