Life Ain't Always Beautiful

I've been going through a lot lately, My emotions are in over drive and I am tired both physically and emotionally. The following song seems to be haunting me. I have heard it several times on the radio the last few days. The words seem to ring true for me somehow.

I especailly like the verse that says:

But the struggles make me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has it's own way
Of taking it's sweet time.

(All the verses are below)

Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down
It can break your heart.

Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road
At the end of the day.

But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has it's own way
Of taking it's sweet time.

Chorus:
No, life ain't always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride. Life ain't always beautiful
Some days I miss your smile
I get tired of walking
All these lonely miles.And wish for just one minute
That I could see your pretty face
Guess, I can dream
But life don't work that way.

But the struggles make me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has it's own way
Of taking it's sweet time.

No, life ain't always beautiful
But I know I'll be fine
Life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride.

What a beautiful ride...

(Sung by Gary Allen)
