IT'S ALRIGHT
Thornton Melanie Lyrics

It's alright, everything is gonna be alright
No matter what happens in life, everything is eventually going to turn out okay.

When I think about life
Whenever I ponder about existence and the world around me.

Something creeps in my mind
A thought or idea that emerges in my consciousness and makes me slightly uneasy.

Saying, "it's time for a change"
The thought tells me that something needs to be altered or modified to improve the situation.

Pointin' fingers, no doubt
Blaming others and not taking responsibility for my own actions.

I'm just wasting my time
My current behavior is not productive nor helpful in any way.

Looking for someone to blame
Searching for a scapegoat to hold accountable for the negative events in my life.

For all the hate and abuse
Regarding all the negativity and mistreatment I have experienced.

How can I face the truth
I'm struggling to confront and accept reality.

If I don't open my eyes
If I continue to deliberately ignore and deny the truth.

And let it get to me, and get to you
If we allow ourselves to be affected by the negativity and hatred around us, we can overcome it together.

Let's come together and start a new
We should collaborate and create a fresh start, leaving the past behind us.

It's just a matter of time
It's purely a question of when, not if, something will happen.

Can't ignore all the signs
I can't pretend like the warning signals aren't there, regardless of any discomfort that may cause.

Gotta do what ever it takes
We have to be willing to take whatever actions necessary to make a positive change.

Teach the children at home
It's up to us as adults to teach and guide the next generation.

Before they're out on their own
So that when they become independent, they'll be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills.

And making the same mistakes
And won't repeat the same errors and continue the cycle of negativity.

The time is tickin' away
The clock is ticking, so we must act soon before it's too late.

We gotta start today
The responsibility falls on us to begin working towards a better future right now.

So let it get to me and get to you
Let's allow ourselves to be moved and motivated by the desire for change.

If we come together, how can we lose
If we unite and work towards a common goal, we cannot fail.

If we try, make a change
If we put forth effort and take action to create transformational change.

We'll survive and then we can say
We will endure and come out stronger, and can proudly proclaim.

If we fall on our knees
If we humbly and sincerely ask for divine intervention and guidance.

And pray, we've got to believe
Believing that our prayers will be answered and that things will eventually improve.

It's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay.
