Nor the moon by night
And everything that I do
Shall be up-full and right
And if it's all night
It got to be (alright)
(Talking to you) all night
Ima' not lose this one
I'm the lucky one, under the sun
If you make me move
Then you know, you got to groove
A do ya' like it?
A do ya' like it?
Do ya'? Do ya'? Do ya'? Do ya'?
If it's (all night)
Got to be (all right)
I'm workin' (all night)
Got to be (all right)
See (all night), I Work for my pay (all right)
Night and day (all night)
Work for my pay (all right)
Night and day (no, no, no, no, no, noo, ooh, no, no, no, no, no, noo, ooh)
Can't you feel it (no, no, no, no, noo, ooh, no, no, no, no, noo, ooh)

If it's all night, got to be (alright)
(All right) know that I'm a stranger (all right) in your town
The lyrics of Bob Marley and Lee "Scratch" Perry's song It's Alright have a strong message of positivity and resilience. The first verse expresses a belief that nothing can bring the singer down, neither the sun nor the moon, and that everything they do will be done with positivity and righteousness. The chorus emphasizes this message, stating that even if things are happening all night, they will be alright. The rest of the lyrics emphasize the importance of hard work and perseverance, of pushing through adversity to achieve one's goals.
The song can be interpreted in a number of ways, but primarily it seems to be a message of hope and encouragement for those who are struggling. The lyrics suggest that it is possible to overcome hardship and that, even when things seem tough, it is important to stay positive and keep moving forward.
