Be Alright

[Intro: Martin Luther King Jr.]
Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness
Let us stand with a greater determination
And let us move on in these powerful days
These days of challenge
To make America what it ought to be
We have the opportunity to make America a better nation

[Verse 1: Jason Taylor]
Day by day, workin harder
Trying to pay, for tomorrow
We've been down, yet we rise
Just like the sun, across the sky

[Pre-Chorus: Jason Taylor]
And if you wanna see a brighter day
Throw 'em up, let me hear you say

[Chorus: Jason Taylor]
We're gonna be alright (Be alright)
Be alright (Be alright)
I can see the light (See the light)
Shinning bright (Shinning bright)
Yeah, oh yeah
We're gonna be alright
Alright

[Verse 2: Jason Taylor]
Where is the hope, where is the peace?
Where is the love? Blood on the streets
Spiritual warfare, keep on praying
Come together, American nation
Racial divider, planets crying
Black men dying, mothers tired
Man versus man, none the winner
Every hand: build, defend her
Love pursuers (Stand up)
And entrepreneurs (Stand up)
And every teacher, every preacher
Freedom fighters, every uniter

[Pre-Chorus: Jason Taylor]
And if you wanna see a brighter day
Throw 'em up, let me hear you say

[Chorus: Jason Taylor]
We're gonna be alright (Be alright)
Be alright (Be alright)
I can see the light (See the light)
Shinning bright (Shinning bright)
Though it looks rough I know
We're gonna be alright
Yes, we are
Yes, we are
Yes, we are

[Bridge: Jason Taylor]
We're gonna be standing, waiting
Watching for the change to come now
We're gonna be standing, waiting
Watching for the change to come now
We're gonna be standing, waiting
Watching for the change to come now (We're gonna be freer)
We're gonna be standing, waiting
Watching for the change to come now (Yeah)
We're gonna be standing, waiting (For you and me)
Watching for the change to come now (Anybody wanna be freer?)
We're gonna be standing, waiting
Watching for the change to come now (Come now)

[Post-Bridge: Jason Taylor]
Mothers and daughters
Fathers and sons
Everyone, hey

[Chorus: Jason Taylor]
We're gonna be alright (Be alright)
Be alright (Be alright)
I can see the light (See the light)
Shinning bright (Shinning bright)
We're gonna be alright (Be alright)
Be alright (Be alright)
If you wanna see a brighter day, sing with me
We're gonna be alright
Yes, we are
Yes, we are
Yes, we are yeah
We're gonna be alright
Every woman, every man
Grab a shoulder, grab a hand
We're gonna be alright
If you agree, lift your hands and sing with me
We're gonna be alright

[Outro: Jason Taylor, Martin Luther King Jr.]
We're gonna be alright
Well, I don't know what will happen now
We're gonna be alright
We've got some difficult days ahead
Alright
But it doesn't really matter with me now
Because I've been to the mountain top
Alright
I just want to do God's will
I am not worried about anything
I'm not fearing any man
My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
