I
believe that mankind is beautiful in all forms
And
that is the Word of God
My
name is Michelangelo Buonaratti
And
I am an artist
I
want to sculpt humanity
I
want to paint life’s destiny
Something
wonderful
Something
beautiful
But
if I had my choice, you see
I’d
leave the rich but honestly
Food
is wonderful
Gold
is beautiful
Oh
but I have a dream I can find
A
way to make my magic paint last for all time
If
I had my wish I’d kiss all the boys and drink
white wine
While
I paint the Sistine Chapel
My
background...
My
mom and dad were quick, real fast
To
spot my talent once in class
He
said “wonderful!”
She
said “beautiful!”
The
put me in a private school
Shut-up
and paint, kid—that’s the rule
Hardly
wonderful
But
yet beautiful
Oh,
my teacher was so kind and wise
He
said, “my boy, don’t always paint within the
lines!”
And
“everyday that passes is your chance to shine
Within
your own Sistine Chapel”
But
how can I ignore this glow around me
Sometimes
I get scared, I step back when I see
A
world that is changing
It’s
not about God anymore
It’s
about us and where we’ve been
Renaissance
open the door
Opening
windows lets light in
I
feel my heart exploding on the floor
Are
we not angels wrapped in sin?
Renaissance
open the door
Renaissance
open the door
My
work experience...
David
is the perfect man
If
only he could hold my hand
He’d
be wonderful
He’d
be…..fucking hot...
La
Pieta is the pope’s big fav
Get
good with him, you’ve got it made
Life
is wonderful
But
not logical
Oh,
Medici and Catholic life
Keep
me awake, I paint and sculpt all through the
night
Knowing
that I’m trapped here forced to create the
light
A
slave to the Sistine Chapel
But
how can they ignore this glow around me?
Why
don’t they understand? Don’t they know?
Can’t they see?
That
the world is changing
It’s
not about God anymore
It’s
about us and where we’ve been
Renaissance
open the door
Opening
windows lets light in
Exploding
on the floor
Are
we not angels wrapped in sin?
Renaissance
open the door
Renaissance
open the door
Belissmimo
Oh,
Bellismimo
Oh,
how can I ignore this glow around me
Sometimes
I get scared, I step back when I see!
A
world that is changing
It’s
not about God anymore
Renaissance
open the door!
Oh,
oh! oh! Yeah, happiness is from your own perspective!
Renaissance
open the door
I
want to sculpt humanity
I
want to paint life’s destiny
Something
wonderful
Something
beautiful
Like
the Sistine Chapel.
