Everything gunna be all-right,

Everything gunna be all-right ...Yah!

Everything gunna be all-right,

Everything gunna be all-right ...Yah!



I went deep down into that river now

I rose up.

And I felt that sun beat down upon this sinner's face.... Yah-Yah!!

And I went deep down in that water now

I rose up.

I felt that sun beat down upon my face... Yah-Yah!!



Everything gunna be all-right,

Everything gunna be all-right ...Yah! Yah!

Everything gunna be all-right,

Everything gunna be all-right ...Yaah!



Here we go!..

So then I smash up the palace like the son of Samson,

Hollerin' louder than all of Bedlam,

Take me to higher ground

Then bury my body 6-feet down.



And I walked 40-miles out into that desert now

Wailed and moaned,

Till the Lion, He called my name ....Yah!



And He said that Old Ship of Zion is takin' way, way out,

Out into outer space.

Yaaaaah! Yaaah!



And He said,

Everything gunna be all-right,

Everything gunna be all-right ..Oh!! Yah!!



Here we go, here we go, here we go...

OH YEAH!!



I climbed the highest of the heights.

Atop that mountain I watched the day turn into night.

Oh I tell you I was a wretched sight,

But I stood long and hard until the light

Rubbing needles in my eyes, eating dirt,

I stood up,

And everything was all-right.



Everything gunna be all-right,

Everything gunna be all-right ...Yah!

Everything gunna be all-right,

Everything gunna be all-right!



Here we go!..

But then I smash on the palace like the son of Samson,

Hollerin' louder than all of Bedlam,

Take me to higher ground

Then bury my body 6-feet down
