How long has it been since you knew your situation?
How long after that til you understood?
How hard did you pray to make it go away?
It was never a part of anybody's plan.
How much did it cost not to tell your mother?
Cuz you hated the thought of seeing her cry.
You would rather say nothing than do her any harm.
So you pay for her innocence with lie after lie.
I sing to the beauty in you.
To light in your eyes.
To the pain you disguise;
Your broken heart.
I sing to the beauty in you.
We will not lie anymore.
You got your hand on that door.
Let's make a start.
How hard did you work not to tell your father?
How closely did you watch his face?
Did he close it down?
Did his eyes grow distant?
Did he take it all on as, as his own disgrace?
I sing to the beauty in you.
To light in your eyes.
To the pain you disguise;
Your broken heart.
I sing to the beauty in you.
We will not lie anymore.
You got your hand on that door.
Let's make a start.
How many times will you have to tell it?
How many friends just fade from sight?
While the preacher he thunders about sin and damnation.
How many sad midnights did you fear he was right?
I sing to the beauty in you.
To light in your eyes.
To the pain you disguise;
Your broken heart.
I sing to the beauty in you.
We will not lie anymore.
You got your hand on that door.
Let's make a start.
Stand up; you are beautiful.
(I sing to the beauty in you.To light in your eyes.)
Stand up; we will stand up with you.
(To the pain you disguise; Your broken heart.)
Stand up; you are beautiful
(I sing to the beauty in you. We will not lie anymore.)
Stand up; we will stand up with you.
(You got your hand on that door. Let's make a start.)
Stand up, Stand up, Stand up, Stand up.
(Stand up; You are beautiful)
You are beautiful; we will stand up with you.
(Stand up; we will stand with you)
Stand up, Stand up, Stand up, Stand up.
(Stand up; You are beautiful)
You are beautiful; we will stand up with you.
(Stand up; we will stand with you)
You are beautiful; Stand up, Stand up
(Stand up; Stand up)
You are beautiful; we will stand up with you.
(Stand up; we will stand with you)
Stand up, Stand up, Stand up, Stand up.
(Stand up; Stand up)
You are beautiful; we will stand up with you.
(Stand up; we will stand with you)
Stand up, Stand up, Stand up, Stand up.
(Stand up; Stand up)
You are beautiful; we will stand up with you.
(You are beautiful; we will stand up with you.)
Stand up.
