We Will Be Alright
We’ll Be Alright
In Dedication To:
Joseph D. Miller
It sure seems to me lately
That I screw up everything
My life is like a circus
And I’m in the center ring
All day long they watch me
Till the tent comes crashing down
Laughing he can’t do it
He’s nothing but a clown
But I don’t think it’s funny
Cause I try with all my might
Yet no one will believe me
When I say we’ll be all right
I know it won’t be easy
And I’ll know I did my best
Cause life has been my teacher
And it’s always trying to test
My strength and my endurance
Every day and every night
I don’t care if they believe me
I know we’ll be all right
They stand up on their pedestals
So high they’re in outer space
And none of them can see the man
Behind this painted face
But that don’t really matter
Because even with their spite
From now until forever
I know we’ll be all right
If any of those people
Really wished my kids the best
They’d stop condemning me to failure
And push me toward success
Those people who keep smiling
Until they think they’re out of sight
Then say they don’t believe me
When I say we’ll be all right
