Intro (Spoken)

Let’s see what happened today
Oh no not again
No nah - Always hits the poorest ones
What on earth is going on
I don’t want to read this anymore – I've had enough

1. Verse

On paper or on screen - The news are bad or so it seems
Nothing good in this world - Everyone looks out for themselves
I come first, forget the rest - Leaving others behind
What comes tomorrow - Won't get better likely worse again
Really no good news anymore
I don’t believe that
I see it – there is still so much sun
Come on be brave

Pre-Chorus

If all we print only what is wrong
We forget what still is true
Good things happen every day
Even if they’re out of view

Chorus

Oh I wish I could find a paper now –
That only writes the good things down
Stories of the love that still remains –
Where good prevails and kindness never ends
No one is hunted anymore –
No divide in faith no keeping score
That every person in this land
May love each other go hand in hand

2. Verse

We write only awesome stories - Strangers helping out overnight
No trouble in the park at night - Let the children lead the way
Love lives a helping hand - Feels great, spirits lifted high
Tolerance is taking charge - Watch the country bloom and grow
Back then no phones or internet
Yet still we knew what was going on
Maybe it wasn´t better back then
But somehow more relaxed

Pre-Chorus

Chorus 2x

Outro

That every person in this land
May love each other
And go
hand in hand
