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?   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 on 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 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      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?   It's gonna be all right, uh huh?   We'll make it through the night   It's gonna be all right
