Ain't It Beautiful is a song written by Sean McConnell, Michael Dulaney and Lee Thomas Miller and performed by Will Lexington in the Season Four episode How Does It Feel to Be Free.
When he, Gunnar and Scarlett go to a bar he takes to the stage to perform and heckled by a homophobic drinker in the audience who throws a bottle thrown at him, cutting him above the eye. Rather than press charges, he later returns to the bar to finish his performance to show the man that he will not be affected by his words.
It is included on The Music of Nashville (Season 4, Volume 2).
Lyrics[]
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
