Good Cheer

1. Oh neighbor, hey there, it’s that time of year.,
to celebrate our differences, see our humanness more clear.
And maybe, baby, I’ll sound like a fool,
to tell you that I love you. You know it’s the golden rule.

Chorus: Whatever is your holiday, wherever you are.
We all strive in our own way to open up our heart.

So whether you have a candle in the window,
a lighted tree in the yard,
red, black and green for Kwanzaa
or a six-pointed blue star,
“Good cheer! Good cheer!”

Bridge:

From one great ocean, the many rivers flow.
There is enough for all to drink, now.
Like one vast forest, we stand, diverse and strong.
We need each other, one and all.
Let’s come together for ONE LOVE.

2. So neighbor, hey there, let’s do what we can,
to appreciate each other and lend a helping hand.
And maybe, baby, it just might be cool
to honor Mother Nature as we’re ringing in the yule.

Chorus: Whatever is our holiday, wherever we are.
We all strive in our own way to open up our heart.

So whether we have a candle in the window,
a lighted tree in the yard,
red, black and green for Kwanzaa,
or a six-pointed blue star,
“Good cheer! Good cheer!”

Good, good, good, good, good, good, good cheer!
Happy holidays, my friend.
Celebrate!
Let’s celebrate.
Happy happy, happy day.
Good cheer. Good, good cheer, good cheer my friend.
You know I believe in you, and I believe in celebrating love, celebrating love.
“Good cheer!”

“Happy holidays, everyone!”

Insider Notes

When we recorded friends singing this song, we had a lot of fun.  =]  At the end, Gary left the captured sounds of us visiting and laughing together, which to me is reminiscent of holiday gatherings with family and friends. Enjoy!
