Something Good

Original

Years of rest, no resolution. I sat back in deep confusion.

Why must this happen to me? Why must it happen at all?

Play me a song that's truly happy, a film without melancholy, some novel without an arc or a dog who hates to bark.

Something good, something good must happen somewhere to someone.

I thought I heard a bird singing through the city sirens.

It was the faintest sound and the loudest noise, and I couldn't help but admire him.

I've had a feeling of unimportance simmer through my life, so when I hear a whistle pierce through a noisy night, I think something good, something good must happen somewhere to someone.

Oh.

Something good, something good must happen somewhere to someone. Oh.

When it does, I wanna read it in the papers. I wanna read it off your faces.

A sad story with a good ending, some temporary faith like some things do resolve, and some people are born happy.

Some families don't yell, and the bad men do go to jail.

And the lawyer who called me last night meant it when he said, "It's over, girl. You're free now. You really did give it your best. " Something good.

And I think something good, oh, something good must happen somewhere to someone.

Hey.

Oh, something good.

Oh, something good must happen somewhere to someone.

And if the birds are singing, then maybe I should speak.

I've been quiet for so long because I couldn't leave. Years of rest, no resolution. My legs are sound asleep.

It won't be a perfect execution, but I'm free like a bird.

So yes, I will listen, 'cause something good, oh, something good must happen somewhere to someone.

Someone.

Oh, something good.

Oh, something good must happen somewhere to someone.

If not anyone, to someone, to someone, to someone, to someone.

If not anyone, if not anyone, don't care who it is, don't care who it is.

And I read it in the novels, and I've seen it in a movie, then I watch it on TV, and I save that in my memories.

And I don't care, something good must happen to someone.
