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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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 clothes and drove them to a toy store
|
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"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|
Ain't always pretty, but it's beautiful
|
