Beautiful - Marillion, Michael Hunter

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 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 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

To be 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 faith to be…

Sane enough 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

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

We can turn it 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

Beautiful

Black, white, red, gold and brown

We’re stuck in this world

Nowhere to go

Turning around

What are you so afraid off?

Show us what you’re made of

Be yourself and be beautiful

Beautiful
