Beauty?

Beauty? - Sound Of The Blue Heart

One man sits upon

A hill so beautiful

And he looks down on

The wonders that were laid upon him

While another man sits alone

Outside on brick and stone

Wrapped in rich mans trash

Holding on so tight it hurts while

A young man robs a store

To get what he is owed

I will not be thrown away

While somewhere I know champagnes flows

A boy in a uniform

Questions all that he was taught

Prays to any god

Who may have time to listen

I'm a hero only if I die

Can you tell me why

I want to let the bullet fly

I just can't choose the right direction

We can wish but we must wait and wonder trying

To make sense beneath this cloud we're under dying

All is so so beautiful and all is so unclear

When our eyes open beauty disappears

See the beauty queen in dress so tight

See eyes turn when she comes into sight

As she frowns upon

The wonders that were handed to her

See another woman rise at dawn

To catch a bus to work for not enough

To feed the children she will try to teach

To not grow up to be her

See her stand screaming on the roof

God I love you but I see no proof

The pain puts me to sleep at night

It's still there when I rise

We can wish but we must wait and wonder trying

To make sense beneath this cloud we're under dying

All is so so beautiful and all is so unclear

When our eyes open beauty disappears

One man stands on high

Sells a gospel looking to the sky

While the weak and weary with eyes so wide

Picture glory they're told awaits them

See the loyal praying through their tears

With empty pockets holding only fear

Of a god so kind they're told

Will bring riches to their life ten fold

See the Cadillac pull away

Preacher man with nothing more to say

To the lost souls going one by one

To wonder what this pain buys when the kingdom comes

One man sits upon

A hill so beautiful

Another man looks up on

A hill so beautiful

We can wish but we must wait and wonder trying

To make sense beneath this cloud we're under dying

All is so so beautiful and all is so unclear

When our eyes open beauty disappears

We can wish but we must wait and wonder trying

To make sense beneath this cloud we're under dying

All is so so beautiful and all is so unclear

When our eyes open beauty disappears

One man sits upon

A hill so beautiful

While another man sits alone

Outside on brick and stone

A young man robs a store

To get what he is owed

A boy in a uniform

Questions all that he was taught

One man sits upon

A hill so beautiful

While another man sits alone

A hill so beautiful

One man sits upon

A hill so beautiful

While another man sits alone
