[Intro: Dre Island]
Hmm
Change gon'
Hmm mmm mmm
Change gon’ come
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
No tears, I hear you crying as the pain start rocking through your bones
Everyday, as the clock tick, another mystery unfold
How can you lead the people when you ask me which way to go?
Love is not hard to find, it's just very hard for me to show
[Verse 1: Dre Island]
You said that slavery is over
So why we still fighting to be free?
Gotta be a man to work hard in these days to take care of my responsibilities
God know your day's getting closer, while you’re taking it all from me
You took me away from my home and now you wanna take away from the birds and the bee
[Chorus: Dre Island]
Yeah, as sure as the sunshine shall shine
We all one day gon' be fine
One day it's gonna be okay
Everything is gonna be okay
Pressures make you think on time
Burdens make you wanna cry
One day it's gonna be okay
Everything is gonna be okay
[Bridge: Dre Island]
I know, I know, I know
I know, one day I know
Everything will be okay (Okay)
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
Everything will be okay
[Verse 2: Jesse Royal]
She give yuh all this food to eat
All this air to breathe
All these memories
And this is how you repay her? For four seasons of labor?
She give yuh all this time to share
All this load she bare
All these honesties
And this is how you repay her? Man you better say a prayer
What will it be when the mountains return to the sea?
And every single human being deh pon di battlefield
What will it be when di Vet pronounce di last bee
And you realize say it worth more than honey
But me say hold your head youth
No bother cry ah sea
A everything where you see happening ordained to be
Amelioration of creation is a part of the greed
Whether or not you agree
Hear me now
Stock market crash
Recession kick in
Coupons upon coupons, but nowhere to redeem them
Here we go again, starting all over again
Here we go again
Here we, here we go again
[Chorus: Dre Island]
Yeah, as sure as the sunshine shall shine
We all one day gon' be fine
One day it's gonna be okay
Everything is gonna be okay
Pressures make you think on time
Burdens make you wanna cry
One day it's gonna be okay
Everything is gonna be okay
[Bridge: Dre Island]
I know, I know, I know
I know, one day I know
Everything will be okay (Okay)
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
Everything will be okay
[Chorus: Dre Island]
Yeah, as sure as the sunshine shall shine
We all one day gon' be fine
One day it’s gonna be okay
Everything is gonna be okay
Pressures make you think on time
Burdens make you wanna cry
One day it’s gonna be okay
Everything is gonna be okay
