When I'm down,
I just draw some roses
On a pretty piece of paper
With my red stabilo pencil
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
Smilin cause I'm grateful
I can feel your spirit, and it's pulse through all things
Ain't it grand, just to be reminded
Reminded of the good things
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
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 red stabilo pencil
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
