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! |
