Long ago in another day

A donkey cried in his donkey way

I'm not beautiful

I'm not beautiful

What good to anyone am I

Other animals are big and strong

Or rare or filled with

An animal song

But I'm not beautiful

I'm not beautiful

What good to anyone am I

Heaven cried

Donkey you can carry

Will you carry Mary

Angels for your guide

On Christmas morn'

In the stable hay

The donkey smiled in his donkey way

I feel beautiful

I feel beautiful

As beautiful as anyone am I

As beautiful as anyone am I

I feel beautiful

I feel beautiful
