It Ain't Pretty (But It's Beautiful) - Clay Walker

Driving home from work just yesterday

Impatiently waiting for the light to change

I noticed a homeless mom and her two kids

She reached out and lifted up a trash can lid

Her face lit up when she looked inside

And pulled out a broken armless doll

Knelt down and gave it to her smallest Child

And God you should have seen her smile

It ain’t pretty, but it’s beautiful

Life ain’t perfect, but it’s wonderful

We’re all broken, but we’re loveable

It ain’t pretty, but it’s beautiful

Got home and told my wife bout what I’d seen

She grabbed her purse, took me by the hand and said come with me

We drove around until we found the three of them

I wondered who was blessing who when they got in

We bought them food and cloths and drove them to a toy story

And the little girl said «I don’t need a brand new doll

As she hugged the broken armless one they found before

She said this one needs me more

She ain’t pretty, but she’s beautiful

She ain’t perfect, but she’s wonderful

She might be broken, but she’s loveable

She ain’t pretty, but She’s beautiful

Last night my wife and I talked till the sun came up

About how we fuss and fight sometimes

Say ugly things act so unkind

But we think God we always find our way back to love

It ain’t pretty, but it’s beautiful

Our love ain’t perfect, but it’s wonderful

We’re still learning to be loveable

It ain’t pretty, but it’s beautiful

We’re all learning to be loveable
