A Little Bit Of Good - John Kander
MARY SUNSHINE
When I was a tiny tot
Of maybe two or three
I can still remember what
My mother said to me
Place rose colored glasses on your nose
And you will see the robins
Not the crows
For in the tense and tangled web
Our weary lives can weave
You're so much better off
If you believe
That there's a little bit of good
In everyone
In everyone you'll ever know
Yes there's a little bit of good
In everyone
Though many times
It doesn't show
It only takes a taking time
With one another
For under every mean veneer
Is someone warm and dear
Keep looking
For that bit of good in everyone
The ones you call bad
Are never all bad
So try to find that little bit of good
Just a little little bit of good
Is someone warm and dear
Keep looking
For that little good in everyone
Although you meet rats
They're not complete rats
So try to find that little bit of good
