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
Chorus:
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
Repeat chorus (2x)
He had a better idea
god had a better idea
