Beauty
Original Cast of Starship Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sway in the wind
Weaving their silk
Regardless of what you′ve done
Or where you've been
They′ll give ya
Beauty...
See how the dragonfly
Dance through the flowers
A brilliant ballet at 15 miles an hour
There's no admission
To this vision
Of beauty...
And it might be slightly different
From things that you may know
You can't deny there′s something special
When you see the night sky glow
So look out
It′s around
Every corner
There's something magical in the air
Don′t hide from your eyes
Or ignore
There is beauty...
Beauty everywhere
Check out the bees
They don't buzz around for money
They do it for free
Makin′ love, makin' honey
Spreading pollen
How can you not fall in love?
It might make you sneeze
But you better believe
It′s beautiful stuff
Then there's the wonder of the caterpillar
The best show in town,
The ending is killer!
There's a larval
Real-life marvel
To be found
It might sound cutesy
But there is beauty
All around
And it doesn′t matter if
You′ve got twelve eyes or you've got two
Because nothing needs any more
Than one to take in the view
If you′re preoccupied
With what's on the outside
You′ll get lost in the "how it can seem"
But open your eyes
And you'll be surprised
To find out how much more
Something different can mean...
()
We don′t got
Any kind of worry
Our way of life is laissez-fair
No wealth, no poor
No hypocrisy
Just beauty...
Beauty everywhere
So look out
It's all around,
Kinda weird, but that's neither here nor there
You can face it,
Embrace it,
No need to fear
The beauty...
Beauty everywhere
Beauty everywhere
Beauty everywhere

No fee required to witness
To this vision
This captivating sight
Of beauty...
Full of beauty
And it might be slightly different
Although it may diverge
From things that you may know
From what you are familiar with
You can't deny there's something special
Acknowledging the uniqueness
When you see the night sky glow
Witnessing the illuminated night sky
So look out
Pay attention
It's around
It exists
Every corner
In every place
There's something magical in the air
An enchanting atmosphere prevails
Don't hide from your eyes
Do not ignore what you see
Or ignore

The ending is killer!
The conclusion is astonishing!

It might sound cutesy
It may appear cute
But there is beauty
Yet, there is beauty
All around
Everywhere
And it doesn't matter if
It is insignificant whether
You've got twelve eyes or you've got two
One can have either many or few eyes
Because nothing needs any more
Because nothing requires more
Than one to take in the view
Than a single eye to perceive
If you're preoccupied
If you are solely focused
With what's on the outside
With external appearances
You'll get lost in the "how it can seem"
You will become misguided by appearances
But open your eyes
However, open your eyes
And you'll be surprised
And you will be astonished
To find out how much more
To discover the vastness
Something different can mean...
That something unique can signify...
We don't got
We do not possess
Any kind of worry
Any sort of concern
Our way of life is laissez-fair
Our lifestyle is non-restrictive
No wealth, no poor
No richness, no poverty
No hypocrisy
No deceitfulness
Just beauty...
Only beauty
Beauty everywhere
Beauty present everywhere
So look out
Be aware
It's all around
It exists everywhere
Kinda weird, but that's neither here nor there
Somewhat strange, but it is irrelevant
You can face it
You can confront it
Embrace it
Accept it wholeheartedly
No need to fear
There is no reason to be afraid
The beauty...
The beauty that surrounds us
Beauty everywhere
Beauty present everywhere
Beauty everywhere
Beauty present everywhere
Beauty everywhere
Beauty present everywhere

@kayliebengston4859
I really wish Brant was in more productions of theirs, he does such a great job here
@mermaidschase1
it just hit me that "the ending is killer" is foreshadowing to Bugette's death
@Vrinara
+Jennifer Trenkle Not just that. It was foreshadowing Bug if he was to get with Bugette, She'd eat his head and fill his body with her larva xD
@SaxophoneHero12
Well done! This is definitely the best version of this song I've seen. Keep up the good work!
@gam10895

@907redhead
I feel like this song would be great for a teacher to sing to a kindergarten or first grade class. At least the first bit.
