And Beauty is..
1.
And Beauty is..
The way the leaves unfold and hold light
The way they speak and say “If we might,
May we just have a little more light?
Can’t get enough of this light ..”
And Beauty says
“Of course, that’s alright”
Beauty’s always got more
Whatever you’ve seen
Whatever you saw
Beauty’s always got more
She’s got so much, it’s scattered on the floor
Why don’t you pick it up when you go?
Pick it up ‘cos you know she’s got more
and it’s just scattered, oh well
Pick it up when you go
Pick it up ‘cos you know she’s got more and more and more..
2.
And Beauty is..
The way the shadows of the leaves dance
The way they move with sunlight when they’ve the chance
To hula hoop around that tree
It says “Who’s got one last dance for me?”
And Beauty always puts up her hand and says “Me”
Beauty’s always got more
Whatever you’ve seen
Whatever you saw
Beauty’s always got more
She’s got so much, it’s scattered on the floor
Why don’t you pick it up when you go?
Pick it up ‘cos you know she’s got more
and it’s just scattered, oh well
Pick it up when you go
Pick it up ‘cos you know she’s got more and more and more..
3.
& Beauty is..
The way the words for ‘green’ sit on the tongues
Of leaves
How they’re not heard but seen, they’re sung
So many words for green
Have you ever seen?
And Beauty taught them each and every one
Beauty’s always got more
Whatever you’ve seen
Whatever you saw
Beauty’s always got more
She’s got so much, it’s scattered on the floor
Why don’t you pick it up when you go?
Pick it up ‘cos you know she’s got more
and it’s just scattered, oh well
Pick it up when you go
Pick it up ‘cos you know she’s got more..
