Everything's Gonna Be Alright
The Babysitters Circus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you say everything's going to be alright now
But how do you really know?
And I know everything's going to be alright now,
Cos that's the seed I sow. Woh-oh.
And the universe told me that's how I
That's I how I think I know.
So you say everything's going to be alright now
And that's how I know.

I got a damsel in distress on my left,
Got a handle with finesse
And no stress would be best, yeah.
Unless it's all just for the best,
In which case I'll replace baby girl with the next
child.
I never gave up on you, you never gave up on me
But time turned tricks and did no favors to we
The time and tide tried to blind our eyes,
But they'll never catch us because we are acclimatized
No our demise is not finalized.
Cause the sign is nigh, I feel the time is right

So you say everything's going to be alright now
But how do you really know?
And I know everything's going to be alright now,
'Cause that's the seed I sow, woh oh,
And the universe told me that's how I
That's I how I think I know.
So you say everything's going to be alright now
And that's how I know.

Yeah, yeah,
I've fallen in love with the birds and bees,
I got nothing but hugs for the herbs and trees.
Somebody told me everything's gonna be
Copacetic if you let it be,
Kinetic energy is rendered to me unstoppable
Unbeatable, undefinable like sunshine, I'm cool.
Looked into the future and I saw a sign that said
Don't stop it get it get it you'll be fine.
So when I tell you everything will be kei te pai, (Maori for "just fine")
I know because the universe told me ayee.

So you say everything's going to be alright now
But how do you really know?
(Don't stop it get it get it you'll be fine.)
And I know everything's going to be alright now,
'Cause that's the seed I sow.
(Don't stop it get it get it you'll be fine.)
Woh oh.
And the universe told me that's how I
That's I how I think I know.
(Yeah, don't stop. Yeah don't stop)
So you say everything's going to be alright now
And that's how I know.
(Don't stop it get it get it you'll be fine.)

Frustrated by the sound of my voice because I'm a Kiwi,
Trying to make it rapping internationally.

So I sing for you,
Imagine she was the girl in the picture, the one that you always wanted
And then she hit on you, you went steady with her,
And then she made you feel so low.
But she gave her love, conditional love and then she made you feel yo-yo.
But you wanted to take this lively heart, and sing about it at this show.

Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
(Don't stop get it get it you'll be fine)
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
(Don't stop get it get it you'll be fine)
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
(Yeah don't stop, don't stop)
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
(Don't stop get it get it you'll be fine)
Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh




Woooh-oh
Woooh-oh
