about

Good People by Nóirin Lynch

A lockdown song. I was in a one bedroom flat in a lovely old house. One neighbour took over the backyard and changed it into a kaleidoscope of flowers, vegetables and little buddas. I began to notice the small joys, the good people, whom I might have missed in my busyness - but who now kept me sane and happy in this strange time.

People are good.

lyrics

My neighbours put a Budda in the backyard
Its standing all serene among the tubs
Of onions, thyme and lettuce leaves
Of meditations and ice cream
He says we'll take it one step at a time
That Buddas gonna keep my heart alive.

My neighbours put a candle out her window
I'm sure its gonna fall on someones head
She says its her best crystal
Ah but better out than in sir
We're taking this just one step at a time
My neighbors gonna keep my heart alive.

These are good people who keep on keepin'
Good people keep my heart alive
Good people, who keep on keepin'
Good people keep us all alive
We're taking this one step at a time.

My nephews got a line in jokes and rhymes
He practices the words to keep in time
Then he leans to ask his Dad what the punchline is again
To see those two boys laugh is just sublime
My nephews gonna keep my heart alive

My friends have all got kids who're at the front
Who're mopping brows and floors just hanging tough
And the love them with warm porridge
With advice and unnamed worries
My friends have wordless love that holds the line
My friends are gonna keep my heart alive

These are good people who keep on keepin'
Good people keep my heart alive
Good people, who keep on keepin'
Good people keep us all alive
We're taking this one step at a time.

Taking this just one step at a time.
