A catastrophe is a hard thing to bear
Like having a best friend say goodbye
Life sometimes is so unfair

A wave approaches without any care
As it crashes on land causing people to die
A catastrophe is a hard thing to bear

The old man stares at a young bird soaring with flare
Wishing that he too can fly
Life sometimes is so unfair

There is movement in the air as the ground starts to tear
A big cloud of dust rises up into the sky
A catastrophe is a hard thing to bear

A model strokes her long glamorous hair
As a victim of bulling runs off to cry
Life sometimes is so unfair

A newlywed widow looks down at the casket to stare
At her husband whose skin is all dry
A catastrophe is a hard thing to bear
It makes life sometimes seem so unfair
