You Wear It Like A Crown - David McWilliams

o, if I had a grand piano

I would play a song for you

a song to make you wonder like you’ve never done before

with words to make the poets sing

and worship at the gate for you

but all I have are words that rhyme and they’ve all been

sung before

o, and if I had the painters eye

I’d reach behind the mask you show

and put it on a canvas that the world might see and sigh

and I’d show just what you feel inside

you think no-one must ever know

but I can’t paint a picture anymore than I can fly

you wear a wall around you

and I cannot break it down

but heaven is around you

and you wear it like a crown

though I may not be a poet

with words to sing a song for you

I have wonders of my own to make your senses spin

and though l may not be Picasso

I’ll colour every day for you

open up your window and let this poor boy in
