My boyfriend wrote this song about a girl who, even though shes been through so much crap, and she knows the world around her is going down the toliet, she’s still in love with life, and still has that passion…. I find it very inspiring.

Theres a dead man on the street with a smile on his face
Fingers wrapped around a bottle that sealed his fate
And theres a building to the west where they manufacture death
While the clinic across the street just cant make ends meet
There are children across the world learning how to shoot strait
While families try to remember the last time they ate
And the tanks roll on in the name of freedom
Killing anyone who dares oppose them
But theres a girl to the north
Who thinks the world is beautiful
She says
Stand out on a beach
Watch the sun and the ocean meet
Try to count stars
And remember how small you are
Heaven aint that far
And the world
Is beautiful
There’s a boy in a closet hiding from his mother
All he wants to do is protect his baby brother
And their dad gets mad and turns up the TV
Wants to hear why he should be afraid this week
And a man finds out on the news “soldier killed by suicide bomb”
Under the headline reads the name of his son
And somewhere a soldier runs while he cries
He just watched his brother die
But theres a girl to north
Who thinks the world is beautiful
She says
Stand out on a beach
Watch the sun and the ocean meet
Try to count stars
And remember how small you are
Heaven aint that far
And the world
Is beautiful
And that girls never seen her father
And she’s never had more than ten dollars
And that girls never had a place to call home
No shes never had a bed to keep her warm at night
But that girl has never felt as alone as you or I
And that girls never been as afraid as you or I
She thinks the world Is beautiful
Stand out on a beach
Watch the sun and the ocean meet
Try to count stars
And remember how small you are
Heaven aint that far
And the world
Is beautiful
Somewhere two loves are breaking up
Somewhere a girl learns how to cut
Somewhere a broken boy gives up
Somewhere an old mans eyes shut
But theres a girl to north
Who thinks the world is beautiful
Stand out on a beach
Watch the sun and the ocean meet
Try to count stars
And remember how small you are
Heaven aint that far
And the world
Is beautiful
