Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Turned on the screen with my first cup
Same old scroll of worst-case stuff
Another face, another blue-red line
Feels like kindness is hard to find
Neighbor lost his job last week
Preacher’s caught in something cheap
Boss is hiring, but no one stays
Feels like we’re all frayed at the edges these days
[Chorus]
Sure could use a little good news anyway
Something small that says we’re gonna be okay
Like a baby laughing in a two-cart aisle
Old friends talking after years in style
Some judge showing mercy, some heart that forgave
Just a crack of light in this heavy haze
Yeah, sure could use a little good news anyway
[Verse 2]
Mama called, said she’s scared to go
To the store she’s shopped since ’84
Says the flags and fists out in the street
Make her shake her head and clutch her keys
But my boy just drew the whole town hall
With crayons spread out on our kitchen wall
Every door open, everybody in
Said, “Look, Dad, that’s where all my friends live”
[Chorus]
Sure could use a little good news anyway
Something real that says we’re gonna be okay
Like a stranger paying for the next in line
Ring found, brought back, “It ain’t mine”
A call that says, “She made it through today”
Just a bit of bright in this bitter gray
Yeah, sure could use a little good news anyway
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s tucked in a quiet room
Holding hands, humming an old church tune (oh yeah)
Maybe it’s bread on a doorstep, warm
Just a note that says, “For when life storms”
[Chorus]
So I’m looking for a little good news anyway
In the small, soft corners of an ordinary day
In the kid who shares his only slice of pie
In the dad who shows up and really tries
In a heart that chooses love instead of blame
Just a steady fire in a world of flames
Yeah, we all could use a little good news anyway
