ho paints the flowers that you walk by
and the silver lining in the sky
and who gives wings to a robin's song
and the light that shines at the break of dawn
chorus:
when you laugh, when you cry,
when you live, when you die
the love that you give and you leave behind
on the face of a baby when he smiles and opens his eyes
on the hearts and souls of a woman and man
in the poets words, and a painters hand
from the mountains to the desert's shifting sands
our time on earth is heaven sent
and every where you look
god's fingerprints
who moves the pen that writes the song
who does the good that goes unsung
who brings the rain to the thirsty sea
who answers prayers when we're in need
chorus:
when you laugh, when you cry,
when you live, when you die
the love that you give and you leave behind
on the face of a baby when he smiles and opens his eyes
on the hearts and souls of a woman and man
in the poets words, and a painters hand
from the mountains to the desert's shifting sands
our time on earth is heaven sent
and every where you look
god's fingerprints
his footsteps are in the sea
his breath the air we breathe
he holds the torch and rides the storm
to the day you die from the day your born
chorus:
when you laugh, when you cry,
when you live, when you die
the love that you give and you leave behind
on the face of a baby when he smiles and opens his eyes
on the hearts and souls of a woman and man
in the poets words, and a painters hand
from the mountains to the desert's shifting sands
all across this blessed land
our time on earth is heaven sent
and every where you look
god's fingerprints
