That One Hopeful Song

I know how you feel child

I share your disease

And I know what it means

To be alive in times like these

You feel like dyin’

Are you: ugly and scared?

Turned away from the light?

At the end of your rope?

With no savior in sight?

But sometimes, out there,

Is a voice with wings that sings

And knows your name

And this is what she says:

“everything’s gonna be alright”

I’ve been where you’re going’ to

Through what you’re goin’ through

And I am dyin’ to

Help you get through it alive

Everything’s gonna be alright

Gonna be alright,

Gonna be alright,

…everything’ gonna be alright

Open your eyes,

Yes you’ve cried off to sleep

Your tears all have dried,

And they’ve washed the slate clean

The pain that you feel

Will just make you strong

And your wounds will all heal,

It won’t take too long

Alright, alright…

Everything’s gonna

Be alright, yeah.
