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 courage to be |
| Have you the faith 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 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 |
| Turnin' around |
| What are you so afraid of? |
| Show us what you're made of |
| Be yourself and be beautiful |
| Beautiful |
