Be a Good Friend (thank you, Fitz & the Tantrums!)
We all need good friends, and we can all grow in being good friends to others. Peanuts characters have been treasured lifelong companions in our family – I think Charles M. Schulz did a brilliant job of showing us so many insights, including what true friendship looks like. I hope this song encourages you in nurturing and developing friendships in your life. Please take care of your mental health and reach out to others. (Apologies for the original lyrics bleeding through – I was weeks into the process of developing this before I realized a karaoke track is not yet available for this song, and my audio engineering skills are very much lacking!) Thank you, Fitz & the Tantrums, for your great music! May God bless you, protect you, and give you peace!

Music: “All the Feels” (Fitz & the Tantrums)
Words by me: They come and go – we’re out here facing our feelings. Up high, down low, we go from the floor to the ceiling. We fly, we fall, we get stirred up, upset again. We smile, we vent, we laugh, lament. We want to heal just a little, just a little, just a little. Heal our hearts in the middle, in the middle, in the middle. Wanna live in the present, in the present, in the present. Wanna give and keep giving and keep giving. Be a good friend. Be a good friend. Been stressed? Depressed? Felt anxious, or had trouble sleeping? Who helps? We can – we can dive in, be a good friend. Emotions change – we get stirred up, upset again. We smile, we vent, we laugh, lament. We want to heal just a little, just a little, just a little. Heal our hearts in the middle, in the middle, in the middle. Wanna live in the present, in the present, in the present. Wanna give and keep giving and keep giving. Be a good friend. Be a good friend. Reach out for help when we need it, rejoice and weep, share honestly, listen with patience, give confidence, value friendship, live in balance, be real with you. We want to heal just a little, just a little, just a little. Heal our hearts in the middle, in the middle, in the middle. Wanna live in the present, in the present, in the present. Wanna give and keep giving and keep giving. Be a good friend. Be a good friend. Be a good friend. Be a good friend.
