Marillion - Beautiful

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 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.. beautiful
Have you the faith to be..
Sane enough 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 all 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
Turn it around
What are you so afraid of
Show us what you're made of

Be yourself and be beautiful
Why don't you stand up and say
Why don't you stand up and say "I'm beautiful!"
