It's Not So Bad

By Bruce Clifford

It’s not so bad when you’re stuck in a jar
It’s not so bad when you can’t travel very far
It’s not so bad when your rewind repeats
It’s not so bad with your heart on your sleeve


It’s not so bad when you’re lost in a time
It’s not so bad when you're out of your mind
It’s not so bad when you reach another place
It’s not so bad with your time and space


Erase the powers
Getting under your skin


It’s not so bad when you’re talking out loud
It’s not so bad when you drift above a cloud
It’s not so bad when you test another's fate
It’s not so bad with your own special ways


Lifting up
Letting go
There you are
What do you know


Erase the powers
Getting under your skin
It’s not so bad when you let me in


It’s not so bad when you’re stuck in a jar
It’s not so bad when you can’t travel very far
It’s not so bad when your rewind repeats
It’s not so bad with your heart on your sleeve
