Tenth Avenue North's song "Beautiful Life" reflects on the struggle of feeling discontent and comparing one's life to others, yet discovering that true life is found in the present moment, embracing both joy and pain. The lyrics speak of waking up to see that life exists between the pictures, and the future, though slow, is bright. It encourages living fully in the here and now, letting go of numbness and embracing one's own journey with gratitude and hope.

Living like a stranger in my home
Wanting everyone's life but my own
But I know there's no golden thread that I can pull
To separate the joy from pain the high from low
What a beautiful life
What a beautiful life
When I wake up to find
Life was here between the pictures
O the future is bright
Though it's taking its time
What a beautiful life it is
There's only one place where I can start
I got to hear my head and feel my heart
And I know gone are the days of numbing this
Here and now the only place where I can live
What a beautiful life
What a beautiful life
When I wake up to find
Life was here between the pictures
O the future is bright
Though it's taking its time
What a beautiful life it is
Today I'm finally waking up
I feel it stirring in my blood
I have all that I want more of
Yeah I want more of
This beautiful life
This beautiful life
I had to wake up to find
Life is here between the pictures
O the future is bright
Though it's taking its time
What a beautiful life it is
