Beautiful Songtext
von 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 faith to be.
Have you the courage to be.
Honest enough to say.

Don′t have to be the same.
Don't have to be this way
Come on 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 laugh at you anyway
So why don′t you stand up and be
Beautiful.
