Lyrics
A Little Good News
You got sun When all you need is rain
Goes better with the pain All around
Hear the sounds of children Getting off the bus
They are just like us Looking down
Searching the ground
For a dollar in the dirt
Chorus
All you need is a little good news
A pair of new shoes
Something to look forward to
It's hard to believe They save the best for last
When it seems the best has passed you by
We all cry But the tears can be your rain
Let them wash away the pain Of all this sun
When you wanna run
All you wanna do is run
Chorus
You don't ever have to hide your frown
Just put the ice cream down
All you need is a little good news
A pair of new shoes
All you need
is a happy ending
Even just pretending
Something to look forward to
Today
