    Lach's third album 'Kids Fly Free' came out the week the World Trade Center fell. Tour cancelled, the album never had a chance. It was originally released on Lach's Fortified label that included artwork on the disc itself. It was then picked up by Track Records in the UK, who originally signed Hendrix and The Who, and that import version has no CD art but does have a bonus hidden track of 'The Hillary Clinton Song'. Please indicate with your order whether you'd like the US or UK version.

lyrics

Beautiful

It’s so hard being big all the other kids make fun
And the gods you called mom and dad like all gods were invisible
Yeah, it sucks all the stuff you had to hide from everyone
You were taught that your thoughts were far from beautiful

Divided from yourself you worked like thunder on control
But your pattern of lovers looks like targets on the wall
Just out of reach is some wonder pulsing with a steady glow
You want it so bad, but you’re so scared of being beautiful

And your stiff upper lip is the tip of an iceberg
A mountain of denial floats beneath the raging sea
Go back to the child for she has got the answer
Give her your love and she will set you free of beauty
And it will be beautiful

It’s so hard being big all the other kids make fun
And the gods you called Mom and dad like all gods were invisible
But your being small does no good at all, it helps no one see
How they too, like you, have beauty
And you can be beautiful
We can be beautiful
Let’s be beautiful
Beautiful
