Song To The Arts
Went to a museum, see a Carvaggio,
Michelangelo… and wonder…
Went to a library, Shakespeare and poetry,
History and fantasy… and wonder…
Chorus
I admire those who are painting pictures,
I admire those who write books and letters,
I admire those who are players and actors,
So this is a song to the arts
Went to the movies and to the theater
See the actors how they play… and wonder…
Chorus
All these lovers find each other in opera, literature, paintings and poems
Play together, pray forever to the arts, to the arts
Chorus
I admire those who are musicians,
I don´t admire those who are politicians
´cause they have to make certain decision
To get into certain positions
This is a song about try and error,
This ain´t a song about war and terror.
This is a song to those who enlighten our lives,
This is a song, a song to the arts
This is a song, a song to the arts.
