Paint America Love

by Lou Christie

on Paint America Love (1971)

trapped by old ways
distant music plays
painted faded signs
silent voices meet
cross the freedom line
there's visions above the sod
when man and love are god
there's a brighter world to share
restless ways will take us there

time to paint america
time to honor the best in ourselves
time for hope
time for peace
paint it love
paint it love
go ahead and paint it love
paint it love
go ahead and paint it love

salt in our wounds
loving communes
sorrow at our door
borrowed troubled times
invisible score
theres visions above the sod
when man and love are god
there's a brighter world to share
love on love will take us there

time to paint america
time to honor the best in ourselves
time for hope
time for peace
paint it love
paint it love
paint it love
go ahead and paint it love
paint it love
go ahead and paint it love
paint it love
go ahead and paint it love
