Bad World

A Prayer For The Children

When my life of abuse came to an end, people were saying, "Your suffering's all over now." But that was not true, it was not all over.

The words of this song are set to the tune of Mad World by Gary Jules. You can learn that tune HERE!

You will probably notice that my chorus is a bit shorter.

BAD WORLD

Becky Rene

What’s it like to live a life of suffering?

So much sadness

So much sorrow inside

All you ever do is fear tomorrow

No use hiding

Nowhere for you to run

Dancing with your friends you seem so happy

I know you’re faking

Always shaking inside

Never hearing words of comfort

Never having thoughts of hope

Even in your dreams you’re crying

We’re living in a

Bad world

People starring but they don’t know nothing

“She’s so quiet”

“Such a strange little girl”

You don’t believe that they can’t hear you screaming

“Won’t you help me?”

“Please don’t leave me alone”

How does if feel to be alone and helpless?

You’re so lifeless

All your senses are numb

Never hearing words of comfort

Never having thoughts of hope

Even in your dreams you’re crying

We’re living in a

Bad world

Then the day comes when they say it’s over

“The nightmare’s over”

“No more suffering now”

But they’ve no idea of what they’re saying

‘cause I’m left ruined

There’s nothing left but a shell

Never hearing words of comfort

Never having thoughts of hope

Even in your dreams you’re crying

We’re living in a

Bad world

Even in a bad world God brings healing

Trust His power

Nothing’s stronger than love

Day by day you’ll get to feel His power

You’ll grow stronger

You’ll find out who you are

He will give you words of comfort

He will fill your heart with hope

All your dreams will be of heaven

Even though it’s still a

Bad world
