Lyrics by Fred Ebb, from the musical "Chicago" When I was a tiny tot of maybe two or three, I can still remember what my mother said to me: Put rose colored glasses on your nose And you will see the robins, not the crows. For in this tense and tangled web our weary lives can weave You're so much better off if you believe That there's a little bit of good in everyone, In everyone you'll ever know. Yes, there's a little bit of good in everyone Though many times it doesn't show. It only takes the taking time with one another, For under every mean veneer is someone warm and dear Keep looking for that bit of good in everyone. The ones we call bad are never all bad So try to find that little bit of good. Just a little, little bit of good Is someone warm and dear, that bit of good in everyone, Although you meet rats, They're not complete rats So try to find that little bit of good.
