Beautiful People.


Beautiful people
We share the same back door
And it isn't right
We never met before
But then
We may never meet again
If I weren't afraid you'd laugh at me
I would run and take all your hands
And I'd gather everyone together for a day
And when we gather'd
I'll pass buttons out that say
Beautiful people
Then you'd never have to be alone
'Cause there'll always be someone
With the same button on as you

Beautiful people
You ride the same subway
As I do ev'ry morning
That's got to tell you something
We've got so much in common
I go the same direction that you do

Beautiful people
You look like friends of mine
And it's about time
That someone said it here and now
I make a vow that some time, somehow
I'll have a meeting
Invite ev'ryone you know
I'll pass out buttons to
The ones who come to show
Beautiful people
Never have to be alone
'Cause there'll always be someone
With the same button on as you
"Melanie Safka"



Ever since I was a small child I have loved Melanie Safka and all her beautiful songs. I guess I still am a bit of a hippy at heart.
I was lying in bed trying to get to sleep and 'Beautiful People' was stuck in my head, I was getting a bit soppy and sentimental thinking about all the people I have met and especially about the people who have moved on from my life.

I believe we should use every opportunity given to us to connect with other people in this world. I would like to go to sleep every night knowing that 'today I have succeeded in touching someones life'

So Beautiful People, join me in my adventures, share my joys, my sorrows and let me share yours. The Internet gives us the opportunity to find so many like minded beautiful people. I will be wearing my button with pride. Will you?
