All Right Now

from New Stuff by Paul Gioia

about

There are so many good, generous people I am in awe of - people who open their homes and lives to the poor and underprivileged who live not just overseas but on our back door. There is nothing romantic or noble about being poor, or caring for the poor. It is hard. But despite how big some people's hearts are, and how honourable the cause, they get tired too. This song is for the quiet heroes among us who are profoundly knackered. There is a time to man the barricades, and a time to step back and rest, and remember that you are loved, more than you know.

lyrics

V1
Days are forever long
The cries of the needy go on and on
You force yourself to pray“Is this what I’m meant to do?”Sometimes we never learn
Everyone takes, but few will return
A word or a smile of grace
It’s hard to accept it’s true

Chorus 1:
But it’s all right now
I’ve loved you, and held you, all of your life
And it’s all right now
Cause you’re not, you’re not alone

V2
It’s never been so tough
The spirit is willing but you’ve had enough
Alone on the mountain top
You think you’re the only one
Can you still hear the call?
A whisper, a whim, almost not there at all
Can you still see the way,The way of the servant Son?

Rpt chorus 1

Chorus 2:
And I’m with you now
Laughing and crying and sharing your tears
And it’s all right now
Cause you’re not, you’re not alone
And it’s all right now
Cause you’re not, you’re not alone
