The Elders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Thinking bout how it all began
Dreams gone with the wind
Impossibility lays grip like eternity
Feeling downhearted
Feeling the pain
Feeling like life should take the blame
Feel it in my soul
Cuz its gon be alright
Baby don't you worry now
Its gon be okay
No more crying no delays
Its gon be alright
And your star will shine
Brighter and brighter and brighter

Weeping may endure a night
Its gon be okay
Joys here its just in time
Its gon be alright
Keep your head up
