Beautiful

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)



Everybody knows that we live in a world where they give bad names to beautiful things

Everybody knows that we live in a world where we don't give beautiful things a second glance

Heaven only knows that we live in a world where what we call beautiful is just something on sale



And the leaves turn from red to brown

To be trodden down

To be trodden down

And the leaves turn from red to brown

Fall to the ground

Fall to the ground



We don't have to live in a world where we give bad names to beautiful things

We should live in a beautiful world

We should give beautiful a second glance



And the leaves fall from red to brown

To be trodden down

Trodden down

And the leaves turn green to red to brown

Fall to the ground

And get kicked around



You strong enough to be..

Have you the courage to be..

Have you the faith to be..

Honest enough to say..

Don't have to be the same..

Don't have to be this way

C'mon and sign your name

You wild enough to remain beautiful?

Beautiful



All the leaves turn from red to brown

To be trodden down

Trodden down

And we fall green to red to brown

Fall to the ground

To be kicked around



You strong enough to be..

Why don't you stand up and say

Give yourself a break

They laugh at you anyway

So why don't you stand up and be

Beautiful.
