Shades of Michaelangelo

Belinda Carlisle

A still-life portrait
A view from my window
Touched by innocence

Now fading away
Into a quiet storm
Of the tears of the angels

Falling around me
As I'm watching the days
I frame colors of passion

Against a fading sky
With a stroke of love
On the canvas of my soul

I'm painting a perfect world
With shades of Michael Angelo
With each promise made

In every heart that knows
We can live in a perfect world
in shades of Michael Angelo

A seed of hope
Grows in my garden
I feel the earth
Beneath my feet

Running through my mind
Are dreams of a future
Where all of this world

Works in harmony
I frame colors of passion
Against a fading sky

I hear songs of children
Echo in the sky
I hear songs of children
A tomorrow so bright
