From green to brown

Writer's picture: DougDoug

Well it’s that time of year. The leaves are turning from green to brown and it’s the end of another year. This song is called Beautiful by Marillion. When we heard it we both burst into tears. I never thought I could be happier in that moment. Time is as good a healer as anything! Enjoy!

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 glance


Heaven 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 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..

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?

Beautiful


All 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 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.
