From the recording Grateful for the Good in Us
“Grateful for the Good in Us” is an uplifting anthem that reminds us of something we all forget too easily — that despite the chaos, division, and noise around us, there is a deep well of goodness inside every one of us. This song is a quiet sunrise for the spirit, celebrating the kindness we show, the courage we carry, and the love we choose again and again, even when the world makes it hard.
With warm melodies and an atmosphere that feels like light breaking over the horizon, the song invites listeners to pause, breathe, and remember who we truly are at our best. It’s a reminder that hope isn’t naive — it’s necessary. And when we see the good in each other, even in small moments, we create the kind of world worth fighting for.
This is a song for anyone who believes humanity can rise together… and for anyone who needs to believe it again.
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
There’s a light that lives inside us,
Even when the world feels cold.
In the quiet of our heartbreak,
There’s a warmth we still can hold.
Every hand that lifts another,
Every truth we choose to trust—
All the small, unspoken moments
Show the best that’s left in us.
(Pre-Chorus)
And when the shadows start to gather,
And the days feel heavy, too…
I remember something simple:
There’s a better me and you.
(Chorus)
I’m grateful for the good in us—
For the love we rise above with.
For the hope that keeps us steady
When the road is rough.
I’m grateful for the hearts that heal,
For the strength that never rusts.
For every time we choose compassion—
I’m grateful for the good in us.
(Verse 2)
We’re not perfect, but we’re trying,
And that’s more than most will say.
Every kindness is a ripple
That can carry miles away.
In a world that tests our spirit,
We still show up, we still stand.
There is mercy in forgiveness,
There is power in a hand.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Even when we feel like breaking,
There’s a light that lifts us through…
And it shines a little brighter
Every time we choose the truth.
(Chorus)
I’m grateful for the good in us—
For the love we rise above with.
For the hope that keeps us steady
When the road is rough.
I’m grateful for the hearts that heal,
For the strength that never rusts.
For every time we choose compassion—
I’m grateful for the good in us.
(Bridge)
When the world feels divided,
And we’re drowning in the noise…
There’s a whisper in our spirit
That reminds us we have a choice.
To be gentle, to be fearless,
To be kind when times are tough…
And to see the spark of beauty
In the people we call “us.”
(Final Chorus)
I’m grateful for the good in us—
For the love we rise above with.
For the hope that keeps us steady
When the road is rough.
I’m grateful for the hearts that heal,
For the strength that never rusts.
For every time we choose compassion—
I’m grateful for the good in us.
(Outro)
Yeah, I’m grateful… so grateful…
For the good that lives in us.
