Bad Things Can Happen To Anyone

Bad things can happen to anyone

no matter who they are

like being struck by lightning

or crashing in a car

It isn't who you are

or anything you've done

Bad things in life just happen

to all and everyone.

Sometimes you meet those challenges

you wish never to face

You find yourself confronted

by a nightmare someplace

Living through it is the last thing

that you would want to do

It's a fate worse than death

and it's happening to you.

When you meet that nightmare

no matter where or when.

That is your proving moment,

your key to understand.

It shows what you're made of

where you are weak or strong.

It tells where you're headed

and shows where you belong.

Bad things happen to anyone,

no matter who they are.

There's no safe place to hide

predict, prevent, or bar.

The only thing that can be done

is pray and prepare

And hold on tight to God

when you face the nightmare
