Beautiful

Marillion

Everybody knows we live in a world 
Where they give bad names to beautiful things 
Everybody knows we live in a world 
Where we don't give beautiful things a second glance 

Heaven only knows we live in a world 
Where what we call beautiful is just something on sale 
People laughing behind their hands 
As 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 stay 
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 

And 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 
But we can turn it around 

You strong enough to be 
Why don't you stand up and say 
Give yourself a break 
They'll laugh at you anyway 
So why don't you stand up and be 
Beautiful 

Black, white, red, gold, and brown 
We're stuck in this world 
Nowhere to go 
Turnin' around 
What are you so afraid of? 
Show us what you're made of 
Be yourself and be beautiful 
Beautiful
