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 glanceHeaven 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 chanceAnd the leaves turn from red to brown
To be trodden down
To be trodden downAnd the leaves turn from red to brown
Fall to the ground
Fall to the groundWe 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 chenceAnd 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 aroundYou 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?
BeautifulAll the leaves turn from red to brown
To be trodden down
Trodden down
And all we fall green to red to brown
Fall to the ground
To be kicked aroundYou 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.
