A big shout out to my colleague Nadina Brown for sharing this beautiful cover of “Good Job” by Alicia Keys with the One Voice Children’s Choir. What a refreshing pause from the rapid pace we have living through during the pandemic. So many are doing a “good job” in the most extreme circumstances.
Enjoy, be well, get vaccinated and let’s get ready for a new chapter on January 20, 2021, at high noon!
You’re the engine that makes all things go
And you’re always in disguise, my hero
I see your light in the dark
Smile in my face when we all know it’s hard
There’s no way to ever pay you back
Bless your heart, know I love you for that
Honest and selfless
And you’re always in disguise, my hero
I see your light in the dark
Smile in my face when we all know it’s hard
There’s no way to ever pay you back
Bless your heart, know I love you for that
Honest and selfless
I don’t know if this helps it, but
Good job
You’re doing a good job, a good job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job, a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
You’re doing a good job, a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
Six in the morning
And soon as you walk through that door
Everyone needs you again
The world’s out of order
It’s not as sound when you’re not around
All day on your feet, hard to
Keep that energy, I know
When it feels like the end of the road
You don’t let go
You just press forward
And soon as you walk through that door
Everyone needs you again
The world’s out of order
It’s not as sound when you’re not around
All day on your feet, hard to
Keep that energy, I know
When it feels like the end of the road
You don’t let go
You just press forward
You’re the engine that makes all things go
Always in disguise, my hero
I see a light in the dark
Smile in my face when we all know it’s hard
There is no way to ever pay you back
Bless your heart, know I love you for that
Honest and selfless
I don’t know if this helps it but
Always in disguise, my hero
I see a light in the dark
Smile in my face when we all know it’s hard
There is no way to ever pay you back
Bless your heart, know I love you for that
Honest and selfless
I don’t know if this helps it but
Good job
You’re doing a good job, a good job (Good job)
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
(Yeah, that’s a good job)
You’re doing a good job, a good job (Good job)
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
You’re doing a good job, a good job (Good job)
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
(Yeah, that’s a good job)
You’re doing a good job, a good job (Good job)
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
The mothers, the fathers, the teachers that reach us
Strangers to friends that show up in the end
From the bottom to the top, the listeners that hear us
This for you, you make me fearless
Strangers to friends that show up in the end
From the bottom to the top, the listeners that hear us
This for you, you make me fearless
You’re doing a good job, a good job (Oh)
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
