THAT'S A GOOD SONG written by Sheldon Manoo (1994)

 (Acapella song by young boy)

    We need more love in the world

    On to every boy and girl

    We need everybody to pray to God

    Stop all the hate and all the war

    And all my friends play happily

    That's how this world should be

Music in

I was walking minding my own business

When coming from a car in the parking lot I heard

The voice of a little boy singing something so touching

I just stood still and absorbed every word

    We need more love in the world

    On to every boy and girl

    We need everybody to pray to God

    Stop all the hate and all the war

    And all my friends play happily

    That's how this world should be

Then I walked on over to the car

He stayed so silent when he saw me coming

I said hey kid, you got a good voice there

Could you please go on with that song you're singing

He said i don't have any more words to it

It is just something that I feel

I said well that's a beautiful song

Would you sing it again for me

That's a good song young man!

Then he started

     We need more love in the world

    On to every boy and girl

    We need everybody to pray to God

    Stop all the hate and all the war

    And all my friends play happily

    That's how this world should be

        (SOLO)

So I started singing the song on to my destination 

I was just feeling so good inside

People stopped and stared, some just listened

Some of those people even wanted to cry, cause they know

    We need more love in the world

    On to every boy and girl

    We need everybody to pray to God

    Stop all the hate and all the war

    And all my friends play happily

    That's how this world should be

That's a good song that little boy made up

And I didn't even get his name

I sure hope he's happy hearing this version

He started me on the road to fame

But what's more important to me

Is that all people take heed to the words

Cause a good song ain't no good at all

When people don't do just what they heard, Yeah

We need more love in the world

On to every boy and girl

We need everybody to pray to God

Stop all the hate and all the war

And all my friends play happily

That's how this world should be
