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..
