why do bad things happen to good people - barbara mandrell lyrics

[verse 1]
on bridge street in chicago, where unemployment’s running wild
there’s an out of work young mother who needs to feed her hungry child
she cried the day she married, and she cried the day he left
now it’s just her and the baby left to take care of themselves

[chorus]
why do bad things happen to good people
when they do the best they can?
why do bad things happen to good people?
i’ll just leave it all in heaven’s hands
i know somеday we’ll understand

[verse 2]
near a farm south of montgomеry, a young couple stands in tears
they’ve lost a child whose laughter filled their lives for seven years
a preacher reads the bible, they bow their heads to pray
then they rearrange the roses and slowly walk away

[chorus]
why do bad things happen to good people
when they do the best they can?
why do bad things happen to good people?
i’ll just leave it all in heaven’s hands
i know someday we’ll understand
[verse 3]
life is a journey, each road we take unknown
we travel here with others and sometimes we go alone
like the wind, my restless spirit keeps reaching for the light
and while i’m waiting for the answer, i can’t help but wonder why
