Good for Goodness

Maybe it's the days
Shorter than days should ever be
Or maybe it's the night
That has you feeling alone

Maybe it's this city
Dressed up in all her finery
Or the year that passed in the blink of an eye
Reminders of promises we couldn't keep
But whatever the reason has you down

Let your heart be light
Let your spirit rise
In the deepest, darkest hour of the night
And let us keep hope,
Let us raise our voices loud
Louder than we thought
Our heavy hearts would allow us
Let us be guided by kindness and grace
Let us be good for goodness sake

If you're feeling forgotten
Like you're among strangers
And you've lost the only way
You know how

If you're feeling restless
And this all seems endless
Those sleepless nights in front of our screens,
Searching for something beyond our reach
Whatever the reason has you down

Let your heart be light
Let your spirit rise
In the deepest darkest hour of this night
And let us keep hope
Let us raise our voices loud
Louder than we thought
Our heavy hearts would allow us
Let us be guided by kindness and grace
Let us be good for goodness sake

And let us be gracious
Let us be forgiving
We must be courageous
Despite our misgivings

And let us speak up
And let us speak out
And let us be present
And let us be loud

Let us lead with compassion
Let us love with grace
Let us listen
These are choices we make
Let us be guided by kindness and grace
Let us be good for goodness sake
Let us be good for goodness sake
