Gimme a pen and a pad and I paint ya a picture
with words a perfect picture
all I need is a pen and a blank sheet of paper, let run my imagination
If I could draw the world (x4)
If I could draw the world
I'de put a smile on the face of every boy and girl
Fill the page with the wonders of Jah universe
And illustrate the graciousness of mama earth
I'de erase the rat race and sketch a new place
That's peaceful where children can play and live safe
Equality reigns for every color and shade
Life is respected in all of its shapes
If I could draw the world (x4)
Gimme a pen and a pad and I paint ya a picture
with words a perfect picture
all I need is a pen and a blank sheet of paper, let run my imagination
When I draw every peice is an original
And creativity's essential
I close my eyes, imagine beauty with my mental
And buss a freestyle with my pencil
Sharpened extra fine, growing sharper over time
Til the end of the line, when my canvas is signed
Like memories my masterpiece will flash in front of my eyes
Such a design must be inspired by the divine
If I could draw the world (x4)
Gimme a pen and a pad and I paint ya a picture
with words a perfect picture
all I need is a pen and a blank sheet of paper, let run my imagination
