Everything's Gonna Be Alright

Wake up, whole world still stressing
Later I'll be here counting my blessings
Gave up but I just keep pressing
'Cause everything's gonna be–

Uh, okay, okay, okay
I woke up this morning hoping to find me some peace (Some peace)
Turn on the news, this world is crazy, seem like it doesn't cease
Heard some people fighting over 'bout who's making the least? (Uh)
Seems like we are way overdue for some new priorities
They got world war talk on the grapevine (On the grapevine)
People on the corner holding hate signs (Holding hate signs)
Crooked system make it hard to walk a straight line
Yeah, got you staying up, praying all night

Call me naive
'Cause I believe
God got something else working up His sleeve, yeah
So you ain't gonna worry me

'Cause I know that when I wake up, whole world still stressing
Later I'll be here counting my blessings
Gave up but I just keep pressing
'Cause everything's gonna be alright
Knocked down, get up and keep climbing
Why frown? The sun is still shining
Joy now, I know in God's timing
Everything's gonna be alright

I can't hang my head down (Ooh)
With this joy that I found (Ooh), yeah
La, la, la, la
I'm singing 'cause everything's gonna be alright (Yeah, yeah)

Grew up in the rain so nothing strange about some clouds
But when it's gloomy every day thoughts in my brain start getting loud
And then catch myself believing that I've watched this scene before
I know how it's gonna end, but then I listened to the score, wow
There's a better melody behind the tempo
And when I slow down just a beat there's a crescendo
And it's a song that don't depend on me to sing it
It's the good news always ringing out in spite of doubts the King is crowned

Call me naive (Call me naive)
'Cause I believe (I believe)
God got something else working up His sleeve, yeah
So you ain't gonna worry me

'Cause I know that when I wake up, whole world still stressing
Later I'll be here counting my blessings
Gave up but I just keep pressing
'Cause everything's gonna be alright
Knocked down, get up and keep climbing
Why frown? The sun is still shining
Joy now, I know in God's timing
Everything's gonna be alright
(Yeah, uh)

And I know it's got you stressin', I know it's got you down
I know you plotting think of copping tickets out of town
All the crazy piling up and rain keep falling down
Wonder how much longer the drama gon' be around
Can't wait til that sabbath, always got you mad at it
We looking for justice
Yeah, the people need an advocate
I saw this so adamant, Jesus is compassionate
God's writing the story, let me point out the protagonist
No matter how bad it gets we gon' be alright
Yeah, we gon' be alright
One day we gon laugh at this
I promise to you that everything's gonna be alright

So when I wake up (Wake up), whole world still stressing
Later (Later) I'll be here counting my blessings
Gave up (Gave up) but I just keep pressing
'Cause everything's gonna be alright (Alright)
Knocked down, get up and keep climbing (Yeah)
Why frown? (Why frown) The sun is still shining (Still shining)
Joy now, (Hey, yeah) I know in God's timing
Everything's gonna be alright

I can't hang my head down (Head down)
With this joy that I found (That I found, yeah)
La, la, la, la
