Hey We’re Gonna Be Alright
Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People walking down Broadway
Begging for change
We just walk by
Don't hear that they're crying
We just keep on typing on our two ways
Oblivious to other people's pain
Gotta read between the lines
Gotta listen to the sound
'Cause this is life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time keeps flying
In life you only get one shot
So give thanks for what you've got right now
Don't you worry
Hey, we're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright, yeah
(Woo) hey, hey, hey
You feel so alone, your problems at home
They always seem to follow you wherever you go
Caught in a daze, you wish you could change
But you always tell yourself
That hopes seems a million miles aways
Gotta wake up from your sleep
Gotta stay awake to dream
Gotta open your heart and believe, oh
'Cause this is life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time keeps flying, woo
In life you only get one shot
So give thanks for what you've got right now
Don't you worry
Hey, we're gonna be alright
Hey, we're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
One, two, three, yeah
It's a roller coaster life
Up and down and side to side
Just shout to get it right
'Cause this is life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time keeps flying, woo
In life you only get one shot
So gives thanks for what you've got right now
Don't you worry
Hey, we're gonna be alright
Hey, we're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright, yeah
Hey, hey, hey (woo)
The lyrics of "Hey, We're Gonna Be Alright" by Jonas Brothers highlight the disconnect and lack of empathy in society. The opening lines suggest that people are so engrossed in their own lives that they fail to notice the struggles and suffering of others around them. The reference to walking down Broadway and seeing people begging for change indicates the presence of poverty and inequality. The lyrics imply that most people are too absorbed in their own world, possibly using their phones (typing on our two ways), to truly acknowledge the pain and cries for help from those in need.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of being aware of our surroundings and the struggles of others. It urges listeners to open their eyes, read between the lines, and listen to the sounds of the world around them. The phrase "this is life, it's harder than it looks" reminds us that life is not always easy, and it is often more challenging than it appears. The lyrics imply that people tend to underestimate the difficulties faced by others, while also reminding us that time keeps moving forward, and we should appreciate what we have in the present moment.
The second verse focuses on feelings of loneliness and personal problems that follow individuals wherever they go. The lyrics describe being caught in a daze, feeling unable to change one's circumstances, and hoping for a better future. The message encourages listeners to wake up from their sleep, stay awake to dream, and open their hearts to believe in the possibility of a brighter future.
The final verse compares life to a roller coaster, emphasizing its ups and downs. However, the lyrics highlight the importance of persevering and shouting to get things right. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the message that life is challenging, but by appreciating what we have and supporting one another, we can overcome difficulties. The phrase "hey, we're gonna be alright" serves as a reassuring mantra, promising that despite life's challenges, everything will ultimately be fine.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hey, We're Gonna Be Alright" convey a message of compassion, urging listeners to pay attention to the struggles of others, stay positive, and believe in the possibility of a better future. It reminds us that despite the hardships we all face, we have the strength to overcome them and provide support to one another.

Simply voice your thoughts to achieve success
