Wonderfully arrayed on a bright autumn day
The leaves set the trees ablaze
I'm sitting here beneath this decaying canopy
Sunlight sitting through the shade

It won't be long
Until they're gone away that's the price we pay

In this beautiful broken world, we laugh and then we cry
And there's a wonderful pain and joy in death, and in life yeah, yeah
Oh, we are livin' in this beautiful broken world, yeah, yeah, yeah

God bless the day that little Suzy came
Born on a mornin' in May
And no one knows why time hurries by
And youth makes room for age

I cherish those years
That she was here with us, we shared life and love

In this beautiful broken world, we laugh and then we cry
And there's a wonderful pain and joy in death, and in life, yeah, this is life
Oh, we are livin' in this beautiful broken world, yeah

Would the day still be sweet if it had no end
If you never knew an enemy oh, could you understand
The worth of a friend

In this beautiful broken world, we laugh and then we cry
And there's a wonderful pain and joy in death, and in life, yeah, this is life
Oh, we are livin' in this beautiful broken, livin' in this beautiful broken
Livin' in this beautiful broken, oh yeah yeah, yeah livin' in this
