“There’s Something Happening Here / Don’t Worry / We’re Gonna Have a Good Day”
“There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It’s s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down.” (Stephen Stills, ‘For What It’s Worth’ song lyrics, Buffalo Springfield)

“Don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing’ don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Rise up this mornin’
Smiled with the risin’ sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying’, (this is my message to you)
Singing’ don’t worry ’bout a thing
‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing’ don’t worry (don’t worry) ’bout a thing
‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Rise up this mornin’
Smiled with the risin’ sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin’, this is my message to you.” (Bob Marley, ‘Three Little Birds’ song lyrics)

“Let’s begin Now
You know today I just woke up and I said
You know instead of waitin’ on a good day
Waitin’ around through up’s and down’s waitin
On something to happen I just say
We’re gonna have
We’re gonna have
We’re gonna have a good day
And all my homies gonna ride today
And all these mommies look fly today
And all we wanna do is get by today
Heyyy
We’re gonna have a good day
And ain’t nobody gotta cry today
‘Cause ain’t nobody gonna die today
Save that drama for another day
Heyyy we’re gonna have a good day.” (Nappy Roots, ‘Good Day’ song lyrics, songwriters: Joseph, Patrick “Beans” Esposito, Edward Hokenson, Bruce Charles Sudano, Melvin Adams, Vito Tisdale, William Hughes, Alan E. Wert)
