Something Beautiful

Like a January flower
Worn before it's hour
But everything pure and so insecure
Like diamonds in love
Young and in touch
Knew it back then
Before we began
That we could be something beautiful

Who do you say that we are?
Who knew we'd make it this far
It's not black or white
Who's wrong or right?
It's worth the fight

And all we can change are the stars
No, we can't stay where we are
It's not black or white
Who's wrong or right?
We could be something beautiful

California breeze
We used to sing
Redemption song all summer long
Then September came and washed us away
But nothing was gone
I knew all along
That we could be something beautiful, mmm

Who do you say that we are?
Who knew we'd make it this far
It's not black or white
Who's wrong or right?

It's worth the fight
No, we can't stay where we are
No, we can't change all the stars
It's not black or white
Who's wrong or right?
We could be something beautiful

You were smilin' back at me
With wine stains on your teeth
It's the first time I believe
That we could be something beautiful, mmm
We could be something beautiful
