Well you already know life aint easy,
'cause you've had more than your share of hard times.
Been so long since you heard the sweet music
or seen the blue sky

Feels like nobody knows how you're hurtin'
And you've gotten so tired of hidin' your pain.
And you'd give anything to lay down your burden
And just fly away,
Oh, but don't go flying away ~

'Cuz I've got good news!
It's water for the thirsty,
Comfort for the weary,
Good News! I've got good news!
There's hope & peace & freedom;
Jesus came to bring 'em to you!
And ain't it about time, ain't it about time,
Oh ain't it about time for some good news?

All those talk shows & war zones in the headlines,
Well, they can't come close to your chaos inside.
So you wanna find a way to leave behind your trouble
or get off this ride.
'Cuz it seems like all you've been hearin' is condemnation,
And the last thing you need is more shame.
Well even the preacher said the Lord is out to get you,
But He ain't that way, On no, the Lord, He ain't that way...

'And I've got good news!
There's water for the thirsty,
Comfort for the weary,
Good News! I've got good news!
There's hope & peace & freedom;
Jesus came to bring 'em to you!
Ain't it about time? Ain't it about time?
Oh, ain't it about time for some good news?
