[Intro] Drip, drop… Drip, drop… Find the good! [Verse] Gray clouds rolling overhead. Things didn't go the way I said. Missed my shot. I'm feeling low. You sit beside me. Take it slow. [Chorus] Drip, drop—find the good! Drip, drop—find the good! One, two, three— Count along with me! Drip, drop—find the good! [Verse] You helped me up. I tried again. We stayed together in the rain. We didn't win, but now I see A little good you found in me. [Chorus] Drip, drop—find the good! Drip, drop—find the good! One, two, three— Count along with me! Drip, drop—find the good! [Bridge] One good friend. One brave try. One small thing That went all right. Still feel sad? That's okay. One good thing Can share that day. [Final Chorus] Drip, drop—find the good! Drip, drop—find the good! One, two, three— Count along with me! Drip, drop—find the good! [Outro] One good friend. One brave try. Drip, drop… Let's give it a try! [End]
