Beautiful - Marillion

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

People laughing behind their hands while the fragile

and the sensitive are given no chance

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 chance

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.
