Second Chance (aka 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
While 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
To be 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
Same enough to be
Honest enough to say.

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
Beautiful.


All 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 laugh at you anyway
So why don′t you stand up and be.

Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful.
