Alright
Bongeziwe Mabandla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is funny, coz its hard and strange
How you think you know something that you can hold on to
You put your pride and glory swear and live by it
Then one day before your eyes someone proves it all wrong
It makes it hard to even try, to even try and carry on
But no matter what happens I want you to know

Its gonna be o o o alright
Just alright
One day alright
Its gonna be o o o alright
Just alright
One day alright

You see I don’t know how
To take all this pain and make it right
If what you love and worship will love you in return
And your greatest dreams a living reality
But i still sit here and think of a better life than this
Coz if there’s one thing I know you need to fight for your life

Its gonna be o o o alright
Just alright
One day alright
Its gonna be o o o alright
Just alright
One day alright

One day the sun will shine again (The sun will shine again)
There’ll be no pain, no rain (No pain no rain)
Nothing to explain
One day the sun will shine again (The sun will shine again)
There’ll be no pain, no rain (No pain no rain)
Nothing to explain

Its gonna be o o o alright
Just alright
One day alright
Its gonna be o o o alright
Just alright
One day alright

Its gonna be o o o alright
Just alright
One day alright
Its gonna be o o o alright




Just alright
One day alright

In front of all the people
I swear
He lives my life
I leave it behind
This day is a mark
I introduce myself
I'm not the same person I used to be

I will follow you
Wherever you go
I will go with you
All the days of my life

I will follow you
Wherever you go
I will go with you
All day long
It’s my life my life
It's my life, my life

My whole heart
I set it before you
I don't have any more
It is the power
Help me, father
You have accepted me
He showed him the way
So that I can go

I will follow you
Wherever you go
I will go with you
All the days of my life

I will follow you
Wherever you go
I will go with you
All day long
It’s my life my life
It’s my life my life

The world can turn on me
People have turned their backs on me
I'm not going anywhere
I'll follow you

I will follow you
Wherever you go
I will go with you
All the days of my life

I will follow you
Wherever you go
I will go with you
All the days of my life

I will follow you
Wherever you go
I will go with you
All day long
It’s my life my life
It’s my life my life






I have decided to follow Jesus. May your children hear your voice, be moved by your Word.
