Grew up on promises tomorrow will be all right
Held on to my defences in fear of the night
Covered my worried head as she turned out the light
And just as tomorrow comes again comes the night

The only comfort I received
All you can do is let it be

It's going to be all right
It's going to be all right
We'll make it through the night
It's going to be all right

Took on an education I learnt to compete
It don't take no qualification to sleep in the street
There's not much humanity in this kind of race
How civil is competition, a foot on a face?

And at the time I still believed
A little more juice and I'll be free

It's going to be all right
It's going to be all right
We'll make it through the night
It's going to be all right
All right

Now as I take your hand show you the stars
Try to explain to you who we are
With so little expectation in this manner of life
All of the complication the fear in the night

Will you be able to believe
There will be love eventually

It's going to be all right
It's going to be all right
We'll make it through the night
It's going to be all right
