It's Alright
Melanie Thornton Lyrics

It's alright, everything is gonna be alright
No matter what happens, we can always trust and believe that everything will eventually be alright.

When I think about life
Whenever I reflect on my life and the world around me,

Something creeps in my mind
I start thinking about something that disturbs me,

Saying, "it's time for a change"
And that is a voice that tells me that it's high time to make some changes in my life and in the world.

Pointin' fingers, no doubt
I cannot help but blame someone or something for all the things that are wrong in life.

I'm just wasting my time
However, I soon realize that blaming others is futile and unproductive.

Looking for someone to blame
I am just trying to find a scapegoat to dump my frustrations on.

For all the hate and abuse
I am deeply disturbed by all the negativity, violence and mistreatment that exist in the world.

How can I face the truth
I find myself struggling to confront the harsh reality of the world.

If I don't open my eyes
Unless I choose to look at the world with open eyes and an open mind,

And let it get to me, and get to you
And allow the pain and struggles that surround us to touch our hearts and souls,

Let's come together and start a new
Then we can join hands with others and work towards a brighter future.

It's just a matter of time
All the current problems and challenges we face are not insurmountable, and they will pass with time.

Can't ignore all the signs
It would be foolish and irresponsible to turn a blind eye to the telltale signs of trouble in the world.

Gotta do what ever it takes
We must be willing to do whatever it takes, and make whatever sacrifices necessary, to make the world a better place.

Teach the children at home
It is important to instill positive values and principles in our children from a young age so that they may grow up to be responsible and compassionate individuals.

Before they're out on their own
Before they leave the safety and comfort of their homes and enter the harsh reality of the world outside.

And making the same mistakes
We don't want them to repeat the same mistakes we made or perpetuate negative cycles.

The time is tickin' away
Time is running out, and we cannot afford to delay any longer in our efforts to create a better world.

We gotta start today
There is no better time than now to start working towards a brighter future.

And try to make it right
We must make every effort to right the wrongs and create a world that is fair, just, and compassionate.

If we come together, how can we lose
If we unite our efforts and work together, there is no challenge that we cannot overcome.

If we fall on our knees
If we humble ourselves and seek divine help and guidance,

And pray, we've got to believe
And believe with all our hearts that we can make a better world,

It's gonna be alright
Then we can be assured that everything is going to be alright in the end.

Breakdown:
This is the part of the song where the beat and rhythm intensify, and the singer repeats the following line over and over again:

It's alright, it's alright, everything is gonna be alright
This is a reaffirmation of the main message of the song, that everything will eventually be alright, no matter what.
