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   Ain’t always pretty, but it’s beautiful
