Second Chance - 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

Feel 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

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

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
