Every Child Is An Artist


Children's art is bold
children's hearts are open
every child is an artist,
but not every grown-up is

Unless, you're like Rousseau,
a child in a forest, a primitive;
every child is an artist
but not every grown-up is.

Landscape, portrait, still life,
I haven't found the way in;
every child is an artist
but not every grown-up is

Back to the drawing board,
back to the studio,
every child is an artist
but not every grown-up is.
