Edward Ibeh Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Everything Will Be Alright

You know the adage all too well
 "This too shall pass"
 You've pried yourself free from the jaws
 Of misfortune time and time again
 So why should yet another be any different?
Troubles that plague you aren't as bad as they seem
Just have faith that...
 Everything will be alright 
 More than once you've fallen deep
 Into the abyss of life's well
 And then you pulled yourself up and out, didn't you?
 Push, my friend, push along
 Even though 
 Adversity has turned the crescent moon upside down
 Just believe that it will flip back into a smile again
 Everything will be alright 
 Who cares how stormy the sea?
 Or how rugged the pathway?
 It doesn't matter how grey the sky
 This much is true, when it clears
 Everything will be alright
 No matter how tough the going gets
 Dawn, after all, always follows dusk
 That dream you had, that golden opportunity
 That didn't fall through
 Things of value lost or misplaced
 Will eventually swing back like a pendulum
 Everything will be alright
 That ship that you watched sail
 Should soon return to shore if you wait long enough
Keep a positive attitude and a smile
 And the sun will thaw 
 Your glacier of woes into a puddle
 Shaky foundations of love, of relationships, of dreams
 Will once again stand firm if you keep the faith
 Hope for the best and never fear
  Everything will be alright
