So Good
Melinda Watts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the nights I cried myself to sleep, yea
And nobody was there
When my heart was broken in pieces
When I think about all the things he’s done
How he brought me out and how I over come
I get beside myself, I can’t help myself
I don’t hold it all inside
Sometimes I scream
Sometimes I shout
I just might even run around
I leap for joy
I lift my voice because
He been so good to me
Chours
(Lead) Been so,
(group) been so,
(Lead) good to me,
(group) good to me,
(Lead) been so,
(group) been so,
been so good to me
(Lead) Been so,
(group) been so, been so
I lift my voice because He’s been so good to me
(Lead) I remember a time when I couldn’t see
what He saw in me
Yes, even I was to blind to believe what He said I could be
When I think about all the things he’s done
How he brought me out and how I over come
I get beside myself, I can’t help myself
I don’t hold it all inside
I just gotta let it out
Sometimes I scream
Sometimes I shout
I just might even run around
I leap for joy
I lift my voice because
He been so good to me
Chours (repeat)
Lead) Been so,
(group) been so,
Lead) Been so,
(group) been so, (repeat)
(Lead) When I think about all the things he’s done
How he brought me out and how I over come
I get beside myself, I can’t help myself
I don’t hold it all inside
I just gotta let it out
The lyrics to Melinda Watts's song So Good describe the singer's gratitude towards God for being there for her in times of need. The chorus repeats that God has been good to her and she lifts her voice in praise because of this. In the first verse, she reflects on moments when nobody was there for her, especially during nights when she cried herself to sleep and her heart was broken in pieces. However, despite these moments, she recognizes that God has brought her out of these situations and has helped her to overcome them. This recognition fills her with so much joy that she can't help but express it through shouting, screaming, and even running around.
The second verse highlights how the singer used to struggle with self-doubt and lack of belief in herself. She was too blind to see what God saw in her and what He said she could be. Again, she reflects on how God has helped her to overcome these struggles and has been there for her every step of the way. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the singer's gratitude and serves as a powerful reminder that God has been good to her.
