| What good is it for a man to gain the world
|
| Yet lose his own soul in the process?
|
| God loves you, yes he does, said you’re alright with him
|
| I wonder…
|
| I know you’ve never seen him
|
| But don’t fight with him
|
| You’re gonna make it through the night
|
| To the light with him
|
| You’re alright with him
|
| I said you’re alright with him
|
| I know you’ve never seen him
|
| But don’t fight with him
|
| You’re gonna make it through the night
|
| To the light with him
|
| You’re alright with him
|
| I said you’re alright with him
|
| I’m callin' out to you, Lord, because I need your help
|
| See, once again I’m havin' difficulty savin' myself
|
| Behavin' myself, you told me what to do, and I do it
|
| But every and now and then it gets a little harder to go through it
|
| Losin' friends day by day
|
| I’m in so much pain when I’m here, Lord, please take me away!
|
| I put you here to do a job, and your work ain’t done
|
| To live is to suffer, but you’re still my son
|
| And there will be a time when you shine as bright as the stars
|
| But there won’t be a his or hers, just ours
|
| Then you’ll see what I’ve been tryin' to show you all these years
|
| Do the right thing, 'cause after the tears come the cheers
|
| I will, my Lord, with my heart and my soul
|
| That’s gonna be how I roll, from now until I mold
|
| Lead and I’ll follow, you take away the sorrow
|
| I’ma sleep on what you said and holla back tomorrow
|
| I know you’ve never seen him
|
| But don’t fight with him
|
| You’re gonna make it through the night
|
| To the light with him
|
| Uhh, you’re alright with him
|
| I said you’re alright with him
|
| I know you’ve never seen him
|
| But don’t fight with him
|
| You’re gonna make it through the night
|
| To the light with him
|
| Uhh, you’re alright with him
|
| I said you’re alright with him
|
| I want you to know, Lord, that for what you given me I’m thankful
|
| Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I’m grateful
|
| You gave us power in our words, so I think before I speak
|
| And that way when I speak, they know I’m here to teach
|
| Can’t tell 'em nothin' wrong, 'cause I love 'em too much
|
| I reach a lot of people, and Lord, I’m lovin' the touch
|
| But deep inside, I’ve got somethin' that’s workin' against
|
| Everything I know is right, what I know makes sense
|
| That’s when you must fight harder than you’ve ever fought before
|
| 'Cause what you’ve got goin' on inside you is a war
|
| Between good and evil, be careful of those who wanna be you
|
| They smile but are not really happy when they see you
|
| Be careful of the ones that always wanna get you high
|
| 'Cause when the time comes, that one’ll let you die
|
| Listen to me! |
| I’m here, but I can only help you
|
| If you want me to help, what do you want for yourself?
|
| I know you’ve never seen him
|
| But don’t fight with him
|
| You’re gonna make it through the night
|
| To the light with him
|
| You’re alright with him
|
| I said you’re alright with him
|
| I know you’ve never seen him
|
| But don’t fight with him
|
| You’re gonna make it through the night
|
| To the light with him
|
| You’re alright with him
|
| I said you’re alright with him
|
| My Lord, my savior, don’t judge my behavior, but instead
|
| Take what’s in my heart and put it in my head
|
| See, I guess I really never knew how proud I made you
|
| My life is yours, my soul I gave you
|
| I don’t know if I’ll do good enough (He's by your side)
|
| And we both know the hood is rough (Right by your side)
|
| Sometimes I don’t know what to do (X, dry your eyes!)
|
| But I know what I gotta do (It'll be alright)
|
| You keep givin' me the word, and I’ll put it to song
|
| Talk to me, I’ll talk to them, and we can’t go wrong
|
| This is the start of somethin' strong, and this is just the start of it
|
| Praises to you, my Lord, for lettin' me be a part of it
|
| I was that kid that, been there, did that
|
| Became ashamed so I hid that, but ain’t no longer with that
|
| Use me as an example—if I can do it, then they can too
|
| With the Lord behind us, there ain’t nothin' that we can’t do
|
| I know you’ve never seen him
|
| But don’t fight with him
|
| You’re gonna make it through the night
|
| To the light with him (The light with him)
|
| You’re alright with him ('Cause he loves you)
|
| I said you’re alright with him
|
| I know you’ve never seen him
|
| But don’t fight with him
|
| You’re gonna make it through the night
|
| To the light with him
|
| Uhh, you’re alright with him ('Cause he loves you)
|
| I said you’re alright with him
|
| He’s by your side
|
| Right by your side
|
| X, dry your eyes!
|
| 'Cause it’ll be alright
|
| Yeah, he’s by your side
|
| Right by your side
|
| X, dry your eyes!
|
| 'Cause, it’s gonna be alright
|
| Yeah yeah, yes it is! |
