    You plant a rose

    And if the rose comes up

    You''re thankful to God

    And when it doesn''t you cuss him

    You raise a child

    And when the child grows up

    You got to learn to let go

    If you can''t learn to love him

    But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing

    Hear all them bells ringing out in the street

    Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe

    ''Cause if I don''t believe in love

    Then I don''t believe in you

    And I do



    Now I''m not saying only bad news comes

    For the people who want it

    But you gotta play that music for who''s listening

    You got to have someone you wanna sing it to

    Oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing

    Hear all them bells ringing out in the street

    Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe

    Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street

    Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe

    ''Cause if I don''t believe in love

    Then I don''t believe in you

    And I do



    Close my eyes, see the glorious sunset

    Through the windows of a store and I want it

    Anyway, if I ever felt haunted

    You were there for me

    These angry people who are waiting to judge you

    Have their own judgment that they''ll have live up to

    Open your mouth

    And if nothing come through

    Remember

    You''re the one that sings

    And it''s a gift

    And life''s a beautiful thing

    Oh, don''t waste it doll

    You build a house and if the house comes up

    You gotta work on that house

    If you want to make it your home

    ''Cause everything inside that''s not something you own

    Is what you''re taking with you

    On the day that you go

    And oh, what a beautiful world when we sing

    Hear all them bells ringing out in the street

    Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe

    Hear all them bells ringing out in the street

    Oh, hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe

    ''Cause if I don''t believe in love

    Then I don''t believe in you

    And I do
