Everybody sing of dispair and the gloom
About war and the greed and the sex in the afternoon
But what they got is a new tune′Cause it speaks of a hope of shining like a new moon
Out in the street someone read my palm
And he said "Smile, there's gonna peace and calm"
Maybe a few nut, no harm
But all in all, there′s no cause for alarm
He said
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything′s gonna be alright now
Everything′s gonna be alright
No waking up in the middle of the night
And no toss, no fuse, no fright
Look at the sky then you'll see a light and
Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Came home to mama and she said
"Look son, you go to change your name now and get yourself a gun"
"Everybody is moving out one by one" I said
"No way mama I′m not gonna run because I know"
"There is gonna be peace real fast"
This bursting and fighting won't last
I belong to the city, now I′m not an outcast
Think about the future, forget about the past
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything′s gonna be alright now
Everything′s gonna be alright
No waking up in the middle of the night
And no toss, no fuse, no fright
Look at the sky then you'll see a light and
Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything′s gonna be alright
A friend of mine is dying
He was stripping on dope
Living on the edge, walking on the tightrope
Everybody's giving up (No hope)
And his poor mama is crying ′cause she just can't cope
But look here lady don't shad those tears
The Lord′s up above so no fears
He is a real cool dude
He always just put a smile on your face
Put a smile on your face
Put a smile upon your face and let me hear you say cheers
Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything′s gonna be alright now
Everything's gonna be alright
Now it′s not quite as bad as they're making it out to be
There′s some people working, there's Oprah Winfrey
Some are giving up because they can't see
There is a bright light shinning for you and me
Oh-oh
Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everything′s gonna be alright
No waking up in the middle of the night
And no toss, no fuse, no fright
Look at the sky then you'll see a light and
Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everything's gonna be alright
No waking up in the middle of the night
And no toss, no fuse, no fright
Look at the sky then you′ll see a light and
Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything′s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright now
