There once was an ugly old man,
And in the way of love he'd stand,
And he wouldn't be a friend to anyone except himself,
And in the days of the ugly man's need nobody ever even heard his plead,
'Cause all the ones who tried to love him, he chased them all away.

Now he knows it's true: the ugliness come back to you,
He knows it's true,
He knows it's true: the ugliness come back to you.

She was holding all her love inside,
It was the safest thing to do,
'Cause if she never let her feelings out she'd never have to cry,
But it's a different story now,
She took a chance on love somehow, and the man who loves her faithfully showed her the reason why...

It's up to you: the love you give comes back to you,
Now she knows it's true,
She knows it's true: the love you give comes back to you.

Down on his knees to pray,
He didn't know really what to say,
But he knew things would be different now because he had the faith,
And now he's traveling on a different road with a peace that he never knew,
But if he never had the faith to try he'd only wonder why.

I say to you: the faith you have comes back to you,
And I know it's true,
He knows it's true: the faith you have comes back to you.
