Livin' is an Art
Clinton Fearon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Livin' is an art
You've got your canvas and I've got mine
Livin' is an art
You've got your easel and I've got mine
Livin' is an art
You've got your brush and I've got mine
Livin' is an art
Using the colors of the universe

Livin' is an art
How perfect could this be
Livin' is an art
Do the work and you will see
Livin' is an art
Check the power of a smile
Living is an art
We're jammin' with the rhythm what's your style

Painted pictures
Hanging on the wall of life
It doesn't really matter
Which is the prettiest
Everyone is responsible




For their own picture big or small
Everyone is responsible for their every rise and fall
