Lyrics
"Nothing Bad Will Ever Happen to You"
(Lyrics - M. Novak & C. Webster - Music - M. Novak)
Nothing bad will ever happen to you
You’re made in god’s image he will protect you
A concept we’re taught when we were young
Thoughts said to be given by a divine tongue
These ideas were accepted without question
Eternal life was the given impression
God works in mysterious ways
When something bad happens just hope and pray
CHORUS:
Nothing bad will ever happen to you
But when it does what will you do
Nothing bad will ever happen to you
What will it take to get you through
This way of thinking makes you naively numb
When reality hits a different person you become
When it sneaks in you’re caught off guard
Your self image is left battered and scarred
When tragedy strikes on a day like today
Your world stops the crisis often replays
A new person emerges a stranger to you
How can this happen -Is this nightmare true
CHORUS:
We think we’re special always protected
God or luck our fate is selected
Thoughts and prayers don’t fix the disease
Go to a doctor for the right answer please
Once you’ve been saved from the nightmare
Life’s more precious and you’re more aware
Mortality real each day is savored
Your thoughts have changed to only the favored
CHORUS:
