This song speaks to our day. With Covid, and Ukraine, and volcanos, and earthquakes, we sure could use a little good news today. Anne Murray came out with this song in 1983, but it is applicable today more than ever.
"I rolled out of bed this morning
"Kids had the mornin' news show on
"Kids had the mornin' news show on
"Bryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon
"Some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
"It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy
"Just once, I'd like to hear the headlines say
"Not much to print today, can't find nothing bad to say
"Because, nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
"Nobody O.D.ed, nobody burned a single building down
"Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody died in vain
"I sure could use, a little good news today
"I come home this evening, I bet the news will be the same
"Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
"How I want to hear the anchor man talk about a country fair
"And how we cleaned up the air
"How everybody learned to care
"Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
"And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
"And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
"We sure could use a little good news today"
