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 you what you're made of
where you are weak or strong.
It tells you 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 you can do
is pray and prepare
And hold on tight to God
when you face your nightmares.
