No More Bad News
Well, well, well now, I just heard the news
There’s another illness lurking
Now I’m really confused
The doctor said that you have pneumonia
Now what are we supposed to do?
Lord, please help us; you’ve got to relieve the pain
She’s always been such a good girl
It’s there something you can do to pull us through this rein?
Of terror that’s quickly taken over
If I could do it myself, I would
Maybe all I need is to find a four leaf clover
And make a wish that this was only a dream
That you’re really not as bad off
As the doctors want it to seem
You’ll be home soon all you need is a little rest
I think God is trying to put you through another test
To see if you’re strong enough to handle the task
But why couldn’t he see how tired you were
So that we would have to ask
Him he reasons for torturing you
I thought you already proved yourself
And you were on your way to a speedy recovery?
But now all hope is lost and your illness is no longer a mystery
