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
