There’s beauty in the butterfly But also in the moth There’s beauty in the sinner before and after he got lost There’s beauty in the traitor if freedom’s on the line There’s beauty in the outcast if beauty saves your life And I keep on moving
Maybe there’s beauty in the mother And in the father and the ghost But then there’s beauty in all others if decency’s the boast There’s beauty in the struggle And beauty in the cost If along the way the purpose was that beauty wasn’t lost Well there’s beauty in the simple and in the fury of extremes There’s even fury in injustice if in return nobody swings So I keep on moving
Well there’s beauty in the boxcars and the wisdom of their saints There’s beauty in the moment and in the turning of the page There’s beauty in the knowing and in the wishing that you could Like magic ain’t a miracle Just your cards misunderstood Well there’s beauty in our doing Though diminished in our name The same beauty in a snowfall is also in a flame There’s beauty in creation as there’s beauty in its loss There’s beauty in the sinner before and after he got lost And I keep on moving
