(Lardie, Niven)



Grew up on promises

Tomorrow will be all right

Held on to my defenses

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 gonna be all right, uh-huh?

We'll make it through the night

It's gonna 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, I'll be free

It's gonna be all right, uh-huh?

It's gonna be all right, uh-huh?

We'll make it through the night

It's gonna be 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 complications

The fear in the night

Will you be able to believe

There will be love eventually

It's gonna be all right, uh-huh?

We'll make it through the night

It's gonna be all right
