Gregory Porter - Painted On Canvas Lyrics
We are like children
We're painted on canvases
Picking up shades as we go
We start off with gesso
Brushed on by people we know
Step back and admire my view
Can you use the colors I choose?
Do I have some say what you use?
Can I get some greens and some blues?
We're made by the pigment of paint that is put upon
Our stories are told by our hues
Like Motley or Bearden
These masters of peace and life
Layers of colors and time
Step back and admire my view
Don't I have some say what you use?
Can't get some greens with my blues?

2020 still here baby
I love this song ...
Music is medicine
This song takes you to a calm and quite place, the instruments and the lyrics, just a beautiful song.
Prachtige lyrics
One of the most awesome and truest songs you'll ever hear. I absolutely love this song!!
Uma música inimaginável. Um dia me disseram q a imaginação não é ilimitada e me fizeram o seguinte desafio para provar este fato: tente imaginar novas cores além daquelas q já existem, podes? Não. mas acho q isso não se aplica à música.
Love this song...
This is what heaven will sound like.....

it was beautiful painting gregory porter and more beautiful is his song.
Love listening to how excited my seven-year-old twin boys get when I play this at bedtime and they can exuberantly sing along in their bunks!
Mr. Porter has that effect on all walks of life, I reckon.
😊

This guy is on another Planet.

bence harika bir şarkı
insanı dinlendiriyor
what a Wonderful Voice & Song.. Mahalo, Hadyomama.
Do I ever have some say?
Can I use the colours I chose can I get some green and some blues
The only artist whose music makes my family including my 14 year-old brother smile
Gregory is a master of music, and it must be shared.
Step back and admire my view...........
To BABYLON...
He's putting it down;telling it like it is. You go Bro!!!
one of THEE most beautiful songs ive heard i love it
Dear Porter ,
Told you so !
This song gives me life!!!!!!
Love it
Best song so far. We are like children indeed. Can I use some greens and some blues. Step back and admire my view.
Heard him for the very first time while cruising in a friends yacht....new fan, Saw him live when he came to town....painted on canvas - he crushed it! sounds better live, his band is phenomenal.
can I use the the colors I choose
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting
that is felt rather than seen....use the colors that you choose to
paint your story ( you can make the story right )
Do I have some say what you use?
Very eclectic
This is beautiful and what music should sound like!
Ive been sharing and replaying all day. Everyone's like thx girl!
WHAT A JAM
This is just so wonderful... Real good hands is played on my daughters wedding past wednesday. Just happy tears :)
WONDERFUL MUSIC!!
i love this artist! beautiful❤
Ayye lmao hi chorus I see you listening to this
We are like children
We're painted on canvases
Picking up shades as we go
We start off with gesso
Brushed on by people we know
Watch your technique as you go
Step back and admire my view
Can you use the colors I choose?
Do I have some say what you use?
Can I get some greens and some blues?
We're made by the pigment of paint that is put upon
Our stories are told by our hues
Like Motley or Bearden
These masters of peace and life
Layers of colors and time
Step back and admire my view
Can I use the colors I choose?
Don't I have some say what you use?
Can't get some greens with my blues?
