Lyrics

It's alright

Dictation being forced in Afghanistan
Revolution in South Africa taking a stand
People in Eurasia on the brink of oppression
I hope it's gonna be alright
'cause the music plays forever
(For it goes on and on and on and on)
I hope it's gonna be alright

(Alright Alright Alright Alright)

Forests falling at a desperate pace
The earth is dying and desert taking its place
People under pressure
on the brink of starvation
I hope it's gonna be alright

Generations will come and go
but there's one thing for sure
Music is our life's foundation
and shall succeed all the nations to come
I hope it's gonna be alright
'cause the music plays forever
(For it goes on and on and on and on…)
I hope it's gonna be alright
(On and on and on…)
'Cause the music plays forever
(For it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on)

The year three thousand may still come to pass
but the music shall last
I can hear it on a timeless wavelength
never dissipating but giving us strength
(It's alright)
I hope it's gonna be alright
(Alright Alright Alright Alright)

From

It's alright
