LYRICS:
I’M A PAINTER - NOT A PROPHET
words and music by Neal Fox

SOME FOLKS SEEM TO WRAP THE WORLD
AROUND THEIR LITTLE FINGER
NEVER SEEM TO HAVE A SILLY CARE
SOME ARE TOUGH AS ROCKS
WHILE OTHERS BLOW ABOUT WITH EASE
SOME CAN BRING THE DEVIL TO HIS KNEES

I KEEP PAINTING SMILES UPON THE
FACES OF DISASTER
I KEEP PUTTING LOVE WHERE THERE IS NONE
BUT EVERYWHERE I TURN
THEY SAY THE WRITING’S ON THE WALL
SOME OF US NEED HELP BEFORE WE FALL

I’M A PAINTER — NOT A PROPHET
I CAN PAINT AWAY THE THINGS
THAT I DON’T CARE TO SEE
I’M A QUESTION — NOT THE ANSWER
SO DON’T ASK TOO MUCH OF ME
I’M A PAINTER — NOT A PROPHET

I’M AN ACTOR — NOT A PLAYWRIGHT
EVERY DAY IS FILLED WITH
WHAT TO BE OR NOT TO BE
I’M THE CHOIR — NOT THE PREACHER
I DON’T ASK GOD TO SPEAK TO ME
I’M A PAINTER — NOT A PROPHET

SOME DAYS I FEEL SO ALIVE
I’M SEEING THE WORLD IN ALL ITS GLORY
SOME DAYS THE DEMONS ARRIVE
ONE MORE PAGE IN MY LIFE STORY

I’M A SENTENCE — NOT A NOVEL
I CAN’T TELL THE WAY THE HERO’S
GOING TO SET US FREE
I’M THE PATIENT — NOT THE DOCTOR
SO DON’T ASK TOO MUCH OF ME

I’M A PAINTER — NOT A PROPHET
