My mama said that it would be all right

My mama said that it would be all right

I do make her proud by just being me

Still, I look forward to a brighter night

In an attempt, I use all of my might

Maybe then we will all be full of glee

My mama said that it would be all right

No, all of our troubles only ignite

It burns down there by the sycamore tree

Still, I look forward to a brighter night

Nothing ever seems to go as we recite

It all just seems to be leftover debris

My mama said that it would be all right

Hopefully one day I can find the light

Now all we want is for us to be free

Still, I look forward to a brighter night

All that ever died arises tonight

You're all I ever wanted, my Dead Sea

My mama said that it would be all right

Still, I look forward to a brighter night
