Everything Will Be Alright
Bernhoft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything will be alright tonight
Everything will be alright this morning
Everything's gonna be alright
I caught some flak and it near had me buried
I stank of failure and it did me in
I was ready to crawl down in a bucket
Wait up!
Someone shouting from the skies up above me
I had to peek over the rim
Lo and behold! An angel before me
Singing the words of Carole King
When you're down, you've got a friend
Get up and sing, get up and sing!
You'll get shot at, some will shoot to kill
But who do you trust?
Get up brother, tell them all, sing it out with me now
Everything will be alright this morning
Everything will be alright tonight
Everything will be alright this morning
Everything's gonna be alright
Haters! Shut your faces
Lovers! Show me your grace
Haters! Haters gonna hate, but just give a little loving and you win them all over in the end
So in the end I had to get out of my slippers
Strap on the boots and join the fight
Two fingers in the air, a peace&love warrior
Superb weapon when applied just right
Call me naïve, call me dumb, call me old-fashioned
Go ahead, call me whatever you like
I've lost faith in words counterproductive
I believe in what beams baby
If the sky grows cloudy and dark
I'll build a fire, I'll build a fire
Winter, spring, come summer or fall
Remember these words
Get up sister, tell them all, sing it out with me now
Everything will be alright this morning

I caught some flak and it near had me buried
I received a lot of criticism and almost let it weigh me down completely
I stank of failure and it did me in
I was consumed by a feeling of failure and it almost ruined me
I was ready to crawl down in a bucket
I was prepared to give up and accept defeat
Swim with the maggots of the garbage bin
I was so defeated that I was willing to surround myself with things that are unpleasant and dirty
Wait up! Someone shouting from the skies up above me
Suddenly I heard a voice calling out to me from above, asking me to pause and reflect
I had to peek over the rim
I had to muster the courage to look beyond my current situation
Lo and behold! An angel before me
To my surprise, I saw an angel appear before me
Singing the words of Carole King
The angel was singing lyrics from Carole King's song
When you're down, you've got a friend
When you're feeling low, you have someone who is willing to support you
Get up and sing, get up and sing!
Use music as a way to lift yourself up and feel better
You'll get shot at, some will shoot to kill
You will face obstacles, and some may even try to harm you
But who do you trust?
In times of trouble, it's hard to know who to trust
Get up brother, tell them all, sing it out with me now
Stand up for yourself and speak out, and use music to do so
Haters! Shut your faces
People who spread negativity should stop doing so
Lovers! Show me your grace
People who spread love should continue to do so
Haters! Haters gonna hate, but just give a little loving and you win them all over in the end
People who are negative will continue to be that way, but spreading love can ultimately change their minds
So in the end I had to get out of my slippers
I had to stop complacency and actively work to improve my situation
Strap on the boots and join the fight
I had to get serious and become more committed to achieving my goals
Two fingers in the air, a peace&love warrior
I am a person who promotes peace and love to others
Superb weapon when applied just right
When promoting peace and love is done correctly, it can be an incredibly powerful tool
Call me naïve, call me dumb, call me old-fashioned
People might make fun of me for my beliefs or actions
Go ahead, call me whatever you like
But I refuse to stop promoting peace and love
I've lost faith in words counterproductive
I no longer believe that negative talk will help anything
I believe in what beams baby
I believe in positivity and working towards a brighter future
If the sky grows cloudy and dark
If things start to seem hopeless
I'll build a fire, I'll build a fire
I will do what I can to create light and warmth in my life
Winter, spring, come summer or fall
No matter the season or time of year
Remember these words
Keep in mind these lyrics
Get up sister, tell them all, sing it out with me now
Stand up for yourself and speak out, and use music to do so
