Verse 1:
I heard once bad things happen to good people
I don't know much, but this much I can say

That the world is spinning further off its axis every day
I don't want to see a neighbor cry
Or the innocent, incompetent to lay down and die

So maybe we need somethin to believe in
A cross to bear the state of mind we're livin in


Chorus:
In a world full of darkness, where is all the light?
Didn't we learn way back when two wrongs don't make a right?

If love is a spark, wait for the fire to catch
After all, a thousand candles can be lit by a single match


Verse 2:
If history starts to repeat
Then rest $$#ured, tomorrow isn't ever guaranteed

So love the ones you love, and tell 'em you do
At the drop of a hat, they could be taken away from you


(Chorus)

Bridge:

Explosions at the finish line
And towers fallin down
Children dying at their schools

In broken little towns
They say the world's a brighter place
Well the color's looking dim

It's getting harder to decide if you wanna sink or swim
So, if you're feelin hopeful, take a stand
Feelin hopeless, take my hand


(Chorus)


I heard once bad things happen to good people
