One Good Act Lyrics

As I look around, I wonder where our souls are bound

I can't help but think that we've all become weak

And, as I contemplate, mistakes that we all seem to make

I see all the ways how we've strayed from better days

Where'd the good go, in our everyday

When on earth did we all go astray

Kinder times are one good act away

Live each day, as though you're here to stay

People everywhere, don't seem to have much time to spare

They pass safely by, as for help neighbors cry

We don't seem to care, can't muster much more than a glare

Was there once a time when unkindness was rare

Where'd the good go, in our everyday

When on earth did we all go astray

Kinder times are one good act away

Live each day, as though you're here to stay

I might be incorrect, if not, I must be quite direct

The way we treat life, is recipe for strife

If nothing is true, then what connects both me and you

If nothing is wrong, then why is it we fall

Where'd the good go, in our everyday

When on earth did we all go astray

Kinder times are one good act away

Live each day, as though you're here to stay

So take this advice, if there's a doubt, please just be nice

It's not all that hard, and it leaves us unscarred

Each and every act, of good keeps our world in tact

You just might impact someone you don't expect

Where'd the good go, in our everyday

When on earth did we all go astray

Kinder times are one good act away

Live each day, as though you're here to stay
