Lyrics

I have a friend who paints love on his canvas
then paints it over sky blue
He says it is there to watch over and care
and help his painting get through

If you are in his painting
it is a wondrous thing
right overhead
love on the wing

It’s been hard to cope since we made the telescope
and we couldn’t find God in outer space
it made sense to believe
if God was there we would see
and the world became
a big empty place

Way up high in the blue of his sky
Michelangelo painted that hand
to watch over and care
look up there
love we can understand

Now we have a war between religion and science
and we paint a death star
and a rebel alliance
cause it threw all the questions open wide
what if there’s nothing out there on our side

Way up high in the blue of the sky
some wondrous thing
to watch over and care
so we look up there
for a hand or a heart or a wing

Yesterday I found a feather on the bike path
that runs through town
I can’t say it’s heaven sent
but right there on the pavement
a bit of love fell from the sky to the ground

Here I am in this painting
it is a wondrous thing
right over head
love on the wing
