Things Are Beautiful (song)

"Things Are Beautiful" is a song by American hip-hop artist b-Rabbit. It was released as the first official single off of The b-Rabbit EP. The song samples "Beautiful Things" by Gungor.

Background
"Things Are Beautiful" was the second song b-Rabbit ever wrote after "Born Again". The song was conceived one day after going to his youth group and hearing the song "Beautiful Things" by Gungor for the first time. Rabbit then decided to remix the song. Choosing his own version of the original lyrics and providing brand new lyrics, Rabbit was able to tell the story of seeing the beautiful things in everything you encounter in everyday life.
