Find the Good Samuel Coombe

Find the good. You’re on the train On a circle track Everyday cycle You say no point in trying. Just going about life you don’t feel like flying But I say “what?” We all got a purpose Your job is to find it. So stop your crying, wake up Find the good. Listen to me when I say that you should ‘cuz if you don’t Well Houston, we’ve got a problem ‘cuz man you got something to do. You know it’s true and I do too. Pandemic? No problem. You still got your head. Use what you have and find the good. Search like Dora and maybe you’ll find your City of Gold. What can we take from Corona? More time to study more time to learn. No more Covid coma? Work hard and you’ll get that diploma, Find your purpose, Get that dream job. You earned it Find the good. I know it’s hard to see, but if you look There’s a bright side where the sun shines. There is always a dark side too but is that what you want? That road leads not to good, but to bad So tomorrow when you wake up it’s not just another day

But an opportunity to make a difference, Clean the house, Pick up trash. May seem small, but it’s really a lot. You may think it’s not, But what if we all did one small thing? Do the math. Now it ain’t so small. So one more thing, Take off your hood, put down your phone, Listen up, Find the good.
