He's not a Bad Man

Chris Pratt, Copyright March 2003

There was a time she needed everything he had to offer 
Confusing times that left her in a whirlwind of grief
Life was spinning downward, a world so all alone
She saw the chance to try and bring relief

Time went on so quietly, she finally had a family
something she'd neglected all those years
but looking at the world as it moved swiftly all around her
left her in the prison of her fears

He's not a bad man, he's not a bad man, 
but he's not the kind of man to make her feel alive
no mystery of magic to make her love survive
He's not a bad man, not a bad man, a bad man

Everyday it seemed that the walls would close so tight around her
while wonders would pass by within her view
the beauty and the strength, lying just outside her touch
made her know just what she had to do

Chorus

Different moments call for different types of actions
Different drives require such different stands
A spirit may reach out for all it thinks that it deserves
not settle for the bird that's in the hand
