Picture Perfect World

(album: Avalon - 1996)

We circle winter, spring, and summer to fall
Spend a lifetime trying to make some sense of it all
Trip over questions raised by fallen men
As if there are solutions for the state we're in

In a picture perfect world there would be no crime
In a picture perfect world we'd be free
In a picture perfect word we'd be colorblind
But it's all right, I know we'll be cared for
All right, a place is prepared for
All right, 'cause sooner or later we'll be
In the picture perfect world

Another summer, autumn, winter and spring
We grow accustomed to the nature of things
Do we chase the questions we can't figure out
And overlook what life is all about?

In a picture perfect world there would be no pain
In a picture perfect world we'd believe
In a picture perfect world love is not in vain
But it's all right, I know we'll be cared for
All right, a place is prepared for
All right, 'cause sooner or later we'll be
In the picture perfect world

We are here but a moment and then the moment's gone
So why spend precious time we can't afford?
We have only one purpose before the curtain's drawn
With all our lives, for the cause of Christ, we must glorify the Lord

In the picture perfect world there will be no pain
In the picture perfect world we'll be free
In the picture perfect world love is not in vain
But it's all right, I know we'll be cared for
All right, a place is prepared for
All right, 'cause sooner or later we'll be
In the picture perfect world
