beautiful

[verse]
when you can't afford to go
but you can't afford to stay
i guess that's what they call being stuck between a rock and a hard place
and when the light flashes go
you know you'd better take that green
'cause you don't know when it'll turn again
or what'll come up in the next scene

[chorus]
and the light is beautiful when the rain turns to snow
and the whole world is beautiful when you let yourself let go

[verse]
bad things happen to good people
we've all seen enough to know it's true
and the point is not that it's unfair
no, the point is - what are you going to do?
will you sit and let it crush you
or will you find a way to leave?
will you let your fury blind you
or will you find another way to see?

[chorus]
'cause the light is beautiful when the rain turns to snow
and the whole world is beautiful when you let yourself let go

[bridge]
and we look at things as right or wrong
and did I make the right decision
but the path ahead is so complex
and it's usually not that simple
and sometimes you just have to choose the left fork or the right
and hope the chain reaction brings you somewhere that you like
and it is not about your daring
about conquering your fears
i don't think that i am fearless
i just know that i'm not happy here

and we worry about the right or wrong
and did i make the right decision
but the path ahead is so complex
and it's usually not that simple

[chorus]
and the light is beautiful when the rain turns to snow
and the whole world is beautiful when you let yourself let go
