I’m Gonna Make It Alright

[Verse 1]
Sit down, my friend, and listen
Won't you please sit a spell?
Stop, my friend, and listen
'Cause I got a story I must tell
About some lonely people
Myself in return
About the life I'm living
And the lessons I have learned

[Chorus]
Lemme hear you say, "I
Wanna make it all right"
One more time I said, "I
Wanna make it all right"

[Verse 2]
Now I been to see the businessmen
In their Olympian heights
Seen the way they make money
They don't think about people twice
They don't seem to understand that I just had been made a fool
I ain't learned about money
From their old-fashioned school

[Chorus]
I got to tell you, I
Wanna make it all right
You know that's what I'm here for, I
Wanna make it all right

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I wanna make it all right
Sing the music, children, sing it one more time
I wanna make it all right
Woah

[Bridge]
You got to come down to the river
Listen to my song
I just woke up this morning, but you'll be sleeping when I'm gone
I'm gon' sing one for the lonely
So they can hear it, too
Something to make you happy, baby
That's what I'm here to do

[Chorus]
Lemme hear you say, "I
Wanna make it all right"
I (You know, oh)
Wanna make it all right
I (Ooh-ooh)
Wanna make it all right
I wanna make it all right
I (I), wanna make it all right
Lemme hear you say, "I
Wanna make it all right"
Get down with this beat, now one time
I wanna make it all right
All right, you know, I know, we just got to make it
All right
All right, all right, all right
(Gonna make it all right)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, now
Wanna make it all right
I-I-I-I
