Does anybody notice?
Does anybody know this quiet
sadness we all feel?
The spinning of the wheel,
there's an aching for the innocent
Lost before the oceans,
found their way into the valleys and the canyons
We were hoping to be whole by now
Hoping to bring healing down
around us in our violence
Left it for our silence
Yes, but underneath the comfort of
our dinner conversation
There's a fumbling for the moments
Cause we know that we are fading
But we were supposed to be beautiful
You and
I, we were supposed to be beautiful
And though we try, we are not so beautiful
You and I
Just another grey sky morning
Cast aside the scorning of the
second hand clock ticking
Quickening the moment and every
day bleeds into yesterday
And into tomorrow until we find
our way back down
Under this earth we only borrow
But we were supposed to be beautiful
You and
I, we were supposed to be beautiful
Though we cry, we are not so beautiful
You and I
When I hold a newborn child
Walk across the mountains wild
I believe in
God in heaven
I believe in its redemption
And when I walk down by the ocean
An d I'm lost in my emotion
I believe, I believe, I believe
That it was supposed to be
Beautiful
