Nothing's As Bad As It Seems

(album: Eufaula - 1999)

It's a beautiful world somewhere tonight
The moon and stars are shining bright
People are dreaming wonderful dreams
Nothing's as bad as it seems
I can't shake this terrible mood I'm in
Not since I lost my best friend
I tell myself again and again
Nothing's as bad as it seems

What is this crazy world coming to?
It's out of control from my point of view
I think some changes are long overdue
But nothing's as bad as it seems

It's a beautiful world somewhere tonight
The moon and stars are shining bright
People are dreaming wonderful dreams
Nothing's as bad as it seems
Nothing's as bad as it seems

Ups and downs, highs and lows
The song of life ebbs and flows
What it all means, a higher power knows
But nothing's as bad as it seems

This morning, I visited my daddy's grave
I stood there wiping the tears away
And I could've sworn I heard him say
"Son, don't let go of your dreams"
Nothing's as bad as it seems

La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
