GOD COLORS OUTSIDE THE LINES
Lyrics by Peter Merz and Blair Byron MacLean
Music by Zoe Maria
Like an architect with blueprints in mind
I drew myself a picture
Deftly I sketched an image of my God
Then trimmed it down with scissors
And when I was done with my paints and brushes
I set my God to dry
Proud and accomplished of my handwork
My strokes were so precise
All my colors inside the lines, inside the lines
CHORUS 1
Cause it's all about the rules,
Commandments and the law
Be a good kid in Sunday School
Color in the lines when you draw
Hey people!
Paint according to design
Don't tell me
Don't ever tell me
God colors outside the lines
But when I returned to my masterpiece
I found much to my chagrin
A horrible mess of my masterstroke
Neon colors were ragin'
My image of God no more prim and proper
The art I had devised
Was replaced with wild and uncontrolled
All my colors outside the lines, outside the lines
CHORUS 2
It's not all about the rules
Commandments and the law
Or being good in Sunday School
Color in the lines when you draw
Tried too hard!
My paint wont fit my design
Couldn't see
Never could see
God colors outside the lines
BRIDGE
Preconceived notions of how God's defined
Theyre running out the door
God will never fit inside puny lines
I can't confine Him, He is the Lord
INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT CHORUS 2
TAG/END
God colors outside the lines
(He won't be boxed in or confined)
God colors outside the lines
(He won't be constricted or confined)
God colors outside the lines
God colors outside, I said God colors outside the lines
