Good Inside

An affirmation song built on a single, steadying truth: you are good inside, no matter what you do.

The song moves from "you are good inside," a grown up singing to a kiddo, to "we are good inside," the whole group claiming it together, with a key change that lifts the second half. It pairs with the Jewish teaching that every soul arrives pure, and with the developmental understanding that a kiddo's worth holds steady even when behavior is hard.

What's included:

Lead sheet PDF with melody line, chord symbols, and lyrics. Key of E major with a modulation upward. Original composition by Dr. Emily Aronoff. Suitable for guitar, ukulele, or piano accompaniment.

Best fit:

Songleaders, music specialists, cantorial soloists, and music-reading grown ups working with kiddos roughly ages 0-10. Lands at Tot Shabbat, social-emotional learning moments, classroom morning meetings, repair after a hard feeling, and bedtime. Works as a co-regulation tool: it holds who a kiddo is (good inside) separately from whatever they just did.

Delivery: Instant PDF download. Print-friendly.
