I saw in a newspaper yesterday
Some things that made me sad
Why is it that they only print
The things in life that are bad
Where is all the good news
The things that make you smile
People being nice to one another
You know, it happens all the while
Switched on my TV
The message was the same
Doom and gloom, destruction
Unhapiness the name of the game
Where are the laughing faces
I'd like to share their jokes
Must we only see them crying
On their tears, see them choke
It doesn't have to be like this
I wish we'd take a balanced view
For every bad thing there are good ones
We just need to see them too
