lyrics

I get up every morning, I hit these city streets
I move through my daily groove, then I take me home to sleep
I stumble and trip, I lose my grip, I try to figure out where I stand
I'm just one more man on the burning sands looking for some promised land

I been up to the mountaintop and I watched your cities burn
I been down to the valley below and I choked while your wheels churned
I been down to the riverside as I wandered through the night
I looked into the heart of man and I know what the fire is like

I know that faith really is a leap
And time really really does creep along
And all I got is one simple song
I'm singing Hey it's gonna be all right

This ain't based on empirical data, ain't based on a set of facts
It ain't no knowledge you can learn in college and they ain't no one you can ask
You could say I got a funny feeling, you could call it a whimsical hunch
But though it flies in the face of conventional wisdom, I just don't worry too much

So baby won't you go to sleep
And sleep through the whole night long
Though I know everything is going wrong
I'm singing Hey you're gonna be all right

Faith really is a leap
And time really really does creep along
And all I got is one simple song
I'm singing Hey it's gonna be all right

I keep on singing Hey we're gonna be all right
