Ain't It Beautiful

(album: The Music Of Nashville: Season 4, Volume 2 - 2016)

You come into the world cold and broke
Helpless, naked, scared, and screaming
They cut and slap and stick and scrub you down
Stand around and watch you sleeping and breathing

And ain't it beautiful?
Ain't it beautiful?
Yeah, yeah
Sometimes life is messy
It ain't always pretty
Ain't it beautiful?

From skinning knees and breaking arms to broken hearts
Just trying to find who you are
To making rent and making vows
And finding out that happiness is so hard
Yeah, it's so hard

But ain't it beautiful?
Ain't it beautiful?
Yeah, yeah
Sometimes life is messy
It ain't always pretty
Ain't it beautiful?

All the tears, the prayers, the love, the loss,
The fear, the hope, the light, the dark,
The fight, the dance, the chance to even be down here at all

No one knows just when they'll go
Or how the road they're on is gonna end
But somewhere past the stars and moss
Far beyond this telescope lens
It all makes sense

Ain't it beautiful?
Ain't it beautiful?
Yeah, yeah
Sometimes life is messy
It ain't always pretty
Ain't it beautiful?
Ain't it beautiful?
Ain't it beautiful?
Yeah, yeah
So beautiful
