Everything Is Beautiful

"Everything Is Beautiful" is a song written, composed and performed by Ray Stevens.

It has appeared on many of Stevens's albums, including one named after the song, and has become a pop standard and common in religious performances.

Stevens's recording was the number 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in summer 1970.

"Everything Is Beautiful" includes anti-racist and pro-tolerance lyrics such as "We shouldn't care about the length of his hair/Or the color of his skin".

South African singer Jody Wayne covered "Everything is Beautiful" in early 1972.
