Music by Melanie Thornton and Todd Chisolm Lyrics by Melanie Thornton Chorus: It's alright, everything is gonna be alright It's alright, everything is gonna be alright Verse 1: When I think about life Something creeps in my mind Saying, "it's time for a change" Pointin' fingers, no doubt I'm just wasting my time Looking for someone to blame For all the hate and abuse How can I face the truth If I don't open my eyes And let it get to me, and get to you Let's come together and start a new Bridge: If we try, make a change We'll survive and then we can say It's gonna be alright Chorus Verse 2: It's just a matter of time Can't ignore all the signs Gotta do what ever it takes Teach the children at home Before they're out on their own And making the same mistakes The time is tickin' away We gotta start today And try to make it right So let it get to me and get to you If we come together, how can we lose Bridge: If we fall on our knees And pray, we've got to believe It's gonna be alright Chorus Breakdown: It's alright, it's alright, everything is gonna be alright Chorus
