Just gimme some good news
I'm done singing the blues
Wanna feel the sunshine
And remember a time
When there was good news
And we kicked off our shoes
And felt the rain fall
Didn't need nothing at all
I remember when we were still young
And 20 dollars seemed like a fortune
Now money seems so important
Where did we go wrong
We gotta get back to those days
Where we could just sit and play
For hours with nothing but our imaginations
I wanna feel like a child again
I wanna regain my innocence
Cause sometimes it seems like a lie
Everything we see through these eyes
We been so desensitized by television
Like products on assembly lines
They're manufacturing our minds
When will we freeze frame and rewind
Back to a time
When there was good news
And we kicked off our shoes
And felt the rainfall
Didn't need nothing at all
Just gimme some good news
I'm done singing the blues
Wanna feel the sunshine
And lose track of the time
Said it's never gonna stop until we drop outta this rat race
Take a taste from the cup of redemption
Are we ever really gonna know which way to go to let it flow
Oh now people are you paying attention
Did I forget to mention, I got another question
Are you ready to move because
We're grooving out of babylon, babylon is falling
Come on now people, we gotta follow Jah Love
If we're gonna reach Zion above
In this technological age, everybody's got a Facebook page
Whatever happened to face to face communication
So let's all put down our cellphones and leave the laptops at home
Cause brother it's been such a long time
So come on inside
I got some good news
I'm done singing the blues
Wanna feel the sunshine
And remember a time
When there was good news
And we kicked off our shoes
And played some kickball
Made a cup and string phone call
I just wanna remember
I can almost see it in my mind
Just take me back to a time when things were simpler
I just wanna remember
I can almost feel it in my heart
Just take me back to the start
When things were easier
Just gimme that gimme that gimme that
Good news, gimme some Love
I could never get enough of it filling me up
I wanna feel like a child again
