Everything's Gonna Be Alright (With Due Respect to Bob Marley & the Wailers)

Everybody sings of despair and the gloom About the war and the greed and the sex in the afternoon But what they got is a new tune 'Cause it speaks of a hope, we're shining like a new moon Out in the street someone read my palm 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 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 tripping 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 make 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 No toss, no fuse, no fright Look at the sky, can you see a light there? 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
