From the recording Hymns of Utopia, Vol. 1
This song was originally written around 1996 and recorded around 1999 by my former band, Audra & the Antidote. Thanks to modern technology, when I wanted to change a line in the chorus, I didn't have to re-record.

Lyrics
Something Good
I don’t believe in superstition
I never understood
And I never trust
My intuition
Though something says I should
Just this time
So what I said, never mind
I have a feeling you
Will be mine
So I’ll cross my fingers
Knock on wood
Pray to a God
In case it could
Help fate out
Because I think I found
Something good
I know this sounds inconsistent
And very well, it should
It’s just that I am persistent
And if I thought it would
Turn the tide
Or align the stars
On my side
I’d happily forget my pride
So I’ll cross my fingers
Knock on wood
Pray to a god
In case it could
Help fate out
Because I think I found
Something good
Something fun and something worth doing
Someone good, someone fun, and someone worth knowing
If I find a clover of the four leaf kind
Would you agree it would be a sign
That you’ll be mine
In time
So let’s cross our fingers
Knock on wood
Pray to a god
In case it could
Help fate out
Because I think we found
Something good
Something good
