Alright

Anthony Ramos

Come and put your hand on my shoulder
If you walk alone it'll feel so much longer
I know i can't promise tomorrow it'll be over
But i know together we can be so much stronger

Cause we gon be alright, don't fall apart
Cause we gon be alright, don't lose your heart
We can make it through today
There's a light inside to guide us
One step further from afraid

Cause we gon be alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
We gon be alright

Headlines got us feeling uneasy
People all wrapped up in what they're neighbours believe in
Ooo everybodys talking 'bout leaving
Well i'm gon stay right here
And pledge my legions

Cause we gon be alright, don't fall apart
Cause we gon be alright, don't lose your heart
We can make it through today
There's a light inside to guide us
One step further from afraid
