Supposed To Be Beautiful - Michael Logen

Doesn’t anybody notice, does anybody know this

Quiet sadness we all feel, the spinning of the wheel

There’s an aching for the innocence 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, Laughter for our silence,

Yes, but underneath the comfort of our dinner conversations,

There’s a fumbling of 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 moments

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, and though we try

We are not so beautiful, you and I

But when I hold a newborn child, and walk across the mountains wild

I believe in God in Heaven and I believe in His redemption

And when I walk down by the ocean and I’m lost in my emotion

I believe, I believe

That we were supposed to be, beautiful, hmm
