the sun is shining
the air is fresh and clean
the prettiest morning 
I have ever seen
oh today yes today 
I’m gonna walk on the good side

Gonna greet each neighbor 
with a warm hello
I’m gonna smile at people
I don’t even know
Oh today yes today
I’m gonna walk on the good side

I won’t read the paper
I won’t watch t.v.
they’ll be no talk of hate or inhumanity
and if Mr Trouble gives me a cold hard stare
I’ll shake his hand
and let love fill the air

Nations with no borders
they’ll be no battle plans
people of  this world
walking hand in hand
oh today, let’s start today
and walk on the good side

It can’t be that hard
can’t be no big deal
cause I know deep in our hearts
it’s the way we feel
and I won’t point my finger
and blame the powers to be
it’s gotta start  somewhere somehow
right here with you and me

Gonna keep on smiling
with good thoughts in my soul
mothing but blue skies
clear on down the road
oh today, yes today
I’m gonna walk on the good side
