Bad Things Happen to Good People

Bad things happen to good people
It's not fair, but with good comes evil
Look to God as I climb these steeples
And He says all men were created equal
Equal, equal-al-al
We're all created equal
Bad things happen to good people
I know it's not fair, but with good comes evil
I look to God as I climb these steeples
And He says all men were created equal

Nobody's beatin' Father Time (Father Time)
Evil walks among the people, it's not hard to find (find)
We play the game of life and search for terms, when all the while
The only guarantee is that nobody makes it out alive
Faith in hand, we overlook (overlook)
'Cause human nature's bad is good (bad is good)
We tryna walk straight as we tightrope with the Holy Book
Readin' passages while judgin' others, givin' dirty looks
We teeter-totter on the line of sinner and misunderstood (misunderstood)

No one's perfect, we're exposed
We try to hide, but God knows
And water seeds we didn't plant
Then wonder why they don't grow (don't grow)
Fake friends, good foes
A world together, all alone
An oxymoron, seven billion people lost with one home

Young girls gettin' trafficked (yeah)
People like the way you innocent
While these little kids gettin' cancer (yeah)
God, tell me, what's the benefit?
He reminded me that He's still good
Got a perfect plan when it's all bad
Even if you never really understand
We can still hit our knees and ask Dad

Whole world full of evil (evil)
Should we take it out? Should we put it down?
But He's patient with His lil' people (yeah)
While the dark powers keep on runnin' 'round
Come a time when He bring peace
When He bring rest, when He bring love (bring love)
Gotta hope in the meantime
That He mean well and He need somethin'

When the good people die young (when the good people die young)
And the bad habits to the good folks
That the Kingdom is still comin'
In Christ, that's where I gotta put hope
You ain't gotta see it 'same as I see it
But you gotta see it for yourself (yeah)
If it ain't of God, can it be of good?
I don't know at all, tryna help, yeah (woo)
