There’s no joy when you’re all alone

The girl over there scribbles away

Your beauty as you shine in white, black, blue and green

I’ve given you a universe to revel in (and I'm so grateful)

As my artistic fingers are a tremblin’
Bm       D                 A                Em
See the world, make some friends, travel round (travel round)

Funny, charming, calm and pacifistic
Bm           D               A              Em
The joy you pass to me and others is incredible

And I’ll revisit you even if I’ve read it all

You’ll be more colourful, though in black and white

Coz’ there ain’t nothing can compete with a creator’s might!

(Slower, single strums)

Bm          D                 A                  E
Above all, have a laugh and make others laugh too,

That’s of course the very best thing you can do!
Bm           D              A                 E
Even if the pen is locked inside its clear cage,
