Lyrics
"Laura: Anything you want us to do differently?
Ross: No
Naomi: Can we do it again?
Ross: We could
Naomi: Thank you

i was walking down the street the blues were draggin' my feet
so i stopped to think a while and i found a reason to smile
you see i realised it's a gift this life
every day i give thanks to the fact i'm here now

it's good to be here! it's good to be here!
sing it loud and clear! it's good to be here!

so next time you're feeling low just try to let it go
remember how lucky you are to view the sun and stars
give a smile you'll get one back, be kind get kindness back
be the person you wish to meet walkin' down the street

it's good to be here! it's good to be here!
sing it loud and clear! it's good to be here!

life can sometimes be sad that is kinda how it goes
but it's a long, long road, so please don't lose hope

it's good to be here! it's good to be here!
sing it loud and clear! it's good to be here!
it's good to be here! it's good to be here!
sing it loud and clear! it's good to be here!
it's good to be here! it's good to be here!
sing it loud and clear! it's good to be here!
it's good to be here! it's good to be here!
sing it loud and clear! it's good to be here!
it's good to be here! it's good to be here!
sing it loud and clear! it's good to be here!"

I have composed an original song in memory of my dad who passed away when I was 8 years old. My plan is to be able to sell this song one day and use the profit to be put a side to help towards a family who needs  it more than I. right now it is still in the creative stage, Please can you all take a listen and give feed back/ advice on what you think of the sample? 

Thanks for listening from Chris Raymont
