Well you already know life ain't 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 flyin' away 'Cause 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 and peace and freedom Jesus came to bring 'em to you And ain't it about time Ain't it about time Ain't it about time for some good news All those talk shows and 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 troubles And get off this ride 'Cause it seems like all you've been hearin' is condemnation And the last thing you need is more shame Well even your preacher says the Lord is out to get you But He ain't that way Oh no, the Lord, He ain't that way 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 and peace and freedom Jesus came to bring 'em to you And ain't it about time Ain't it about time Ain't it about time for some good news
