Diamond Rio
"A Better Idea"

(Tom Shapiro, Marty Dodson)

He hung the moon
Raised the sun
Made the lions walk
And the rivers run
Then He sat down, looked around
And thought a bit
Said, it’s all good but that ain’t quite it
So with his mighty hand He created man
And then.

Chorus:
He had a better idea
A much better idea
He made an angel like sweet perfume
A heavenly smile, someone who
Can light up a room, with a heart so true
I thank God he created me
But when I look at you, I see
He had a better idea.

Thought I’d have to face
This world alone
Just walk through life
Without a hand to hold
And I accepted that
I said in fact it might be nice
To live my way
Now that’s paradise
Be He knew all along
I was wrong.

Chorus:
He had a better idea
A much better idea
He made an angel like sweet perfume
A heavenly smile, someone who
Can light up a room, with a heart so true
I thank God he created me
But when I look at you, I see
He had a better idea.

He had a better idea
God had a better idea...
