Beauty
Embracing Beauty in the Unseen: Matthew Good's Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
There's beauty in the butterfly
Beauty is found in the delicate and graceful butterfly.
But also in the moth
Even the less celebrated moth holds its own beauty.
There's beauty in the sinner
Beauty exists in those who have committed sins.
Before and after he got lost
Acknowledging the beauty in an individual before and after they go astray.
There's beauty in the traitor
There's beauty in those considered traitors, especially if they stand for freedom.
If freedom's on the line
Recognizing beauty in outcasts, particularly if their beauty is a life-saving force.
There's beauty in the outcast
Continuing to move forward despite challenges.
If beauty saves your life
Emphasizing the perseverance to keep moving in life.
And I keep on moving
Reiterating the determination to keep moving forward.
And I keep on moving
-Keep on moving
-Maybe there's beauty in the mother
Exploring the beauty in motherhood, fatherhood, and the spiritual realm.
And in the father and the ghost
Finding beauty in everyone, especially when decency is evident.
But then there's beauty in all others
Recognizing beauty in the struggle and acknowledging the cost associated with it.
If decency's the boast
-There's beauty in the struggle
Finding purpose in the journey, where the preservation of beauty is crucial.
And beauty in the cost
-If along the way the purpose
-Was that beauty wasn't lost
-Oh, there's beauty in the simple
Finding beauty in simplicity and the extremes of emotion.
And in the fury of extremes
Finding fury even in injustice if it prevents retaliation.
There's even fury in injustice
-If in return nobody swings
-So I keep on moving
Continuing to move forward despite challenges.
I keep on moving
-Keep on moving
-Well, there's beauty in the boxcars
Finding beauty in unexpected places like boxcars and the wisdom they carry.
And the wisdom of their saints
Finding beauty in moments, transitions, and the longing for magical outcomes.
There's beauty in the moment
-And in the turning of the page
-There's beauty in the knowing
-And the wishing that you could
-Like magic ain't a miracle
-Just your cards misunderstood
Finding beauty in human actions, even if diminished by association.
Well, there's beauty in our doing
-Though diminished in our name
Comparing beauty in the purity of snowfall and the intensity of flames.
The same beauty in a snowfall
-Is also in a flame
-There's beauty in creation
Reflecting on the beauty in creation and the beauty that persists in sinners.
As there's beauty in its loss
-There's beauty in the sinner
-Before and after he got lost
-And I keep on moving
Emphasizing the determination to keep moving forward in the face of loss and challenges.
And I keep on moving
-And I keep on moving
-Keep on moving
