Lyrics
Everything will be alright this morning
Expressing optimism that everything will be fine in the morning.
Everything will be alright tonight
Continuing the optimistic outlook, anticipating a positive outcome tonight.
Everything will be alright this morning
Reiteration of the belief that things will be alright in the morning.
Everything's gonna be alright
Overall assurance that everything is going to be alright.
I caught some flak and it near had me buried
Describing facing criticism or opposition that almost overwhelmed the person.
I stank of failure and it did me in
Feeling a sense of failure and being negatively impacted by it.
I was ready to crawl down in a bucket
Being prepared to give up or succumb to difficulties.
Swim with the maggots of the garbage bin
Metaphorically sinking into despair, contemplating a low point.
Wait up!
An abrupt interruption, possibly a call for attention or a realization.
Someone shouting from the skies up above me
Hearing encouragement or guidance from a source above, possibly metaphorical.
I had to peek over the rim
Curiosity leading to looking beyond current difficulties.
Lo and behold! An angel before me
Discovering a positive influence or inspiration represented by an angel.
Singing the words of Carole King
Referencing the uplifting lyrics of Carole King through the angel.
When you're down, you've got a friend
Emphasizing the value of friendship and support during tough times.
Get up and sing, get up and sing!
Encouragement to rise above challenges and express oneself through singing.
You'll get shot at, some will shoot to kill
Acknowledging the presence of challenges and potential hostility.
But who do you trust?
Raising a question about trust in difficult situations.
Get up brother, tell them all, sing it out with me now
Urging others to stand up and share the positive message together.
Everything will be alright this morning
Repeating the earlier optimism about the morning being alright.
Everything will be alright tonight
Affirmation that everything will be alright during the night as well.
Everything will be alright this morning
Reiterating the belief in a positive outcome in the morning.
Everything's gonna be alright
Reassurance that everything is ultimately going to be alright.
Haters! Shut your faces
Addressing those who criticize or oppose with a dismissive tone.
Lovers! Show me your grace
Calling for love and grace from supporters or admirers.
Haters! Haters gonna hate, but just give a little loving and you win them all over in the end
Acknowledging hatred but emphasizing the power of love to overcome.
So in the end I had to get out of my slippers
Symbolic transition from a state of comfort to readiness for action.
Strap on the boots and join the fight
Preparedness to face challenges and join a metaphorical fight.
Two fingers in the air, a peace&love warrior
Symbolic gesture of peace and love as powerful tools in the fight.
Superb weapon when applied just right
Acknowledging potential criticism but asserting beliefs confidently.
Call me naïve, call me dumb, call me old-fashioned
Accepting labels but expressing a commitment to personal principles.
Go ahead, call me whatever you like
Indifference to verbal criticism, focusing on personal convictions.
I've lost faith in words counterproductive
Losing trust in mere words and placing faith in actions or genuine feelings.
I believe in what beams baby
Believing in the positive energy that radiates or inspires.
If the sky grows cloudy and dark
Preparing for difficult times and expressing determination.
I'll build a fire, I'll build a fire
Metaphorically using fire as a symbol of resilience and strength.
Winter, spring, come summer or fall
Expressing readiness to face challenges in any season.
Remember these words
Encouraging others to remember a positive message in tough times.
Get up sister, tell them all, sing it out with me now
Encouraging women to stand up and share the positive message together.
Everything will be alright this morning
Repeating the earlier optimism about the morning being alright.
