Song | Beautiful |
Artist | Marillion |
Album | FRC-013 Ahoy, Rotterdam, Netherlands, 29 september 1995 |
(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. |
