"Something Good is Bound to Happen" is a song from the 1978 film, Hot Lead and Cold Feet.
Context[]
The introductory scene, kindhearted Eli Bloodshy and two orphans, Roxanne and Marcus, are singing it on a street island in Philadelphia, hoping to raise funds for charity; instead, they are booed and pelted with fruit by a group of hecklers.
The song is reprised at the end of the film, where Eli, who has become the new preacher in the town of Bloodshy, leads the townspeople in a round of the song.
Lyrics[]
Something good is bound to happen
When love is in your heart
For love and human kindness
Is where good things always start
There's goodness in your neighbors
There's goodness close at hand
Oh, let's spread love and goodness% %
Over all this blessed land.
