Untitled

I saw the sun shine

In my darkest night

Bare feet on that red clay

Heart wrapped up in fright

Cast my eyes toward heaven

Tears all in my hands

Thought I was a broken man

Too tired to stand

Then I heard that voice say

"Everything is alright" (alright)

In the midnight hour

I’m gonna be alright (be alright)

Through the hurt

Through the sorrow

Through the long

Long fight

I got a little old gospel

Singing me to the light

Mama in the front row

Rocking in her chair

Deacon with his Bible

Humming through a prayer

Chains on my spirit

Fell like rust and rain

When that hallelujah

Cut straight through my pain

’Cause I heard that voice say

"Everything is alright" (everything)

In the midnight hour

I’m gonna be alright (be alright)

Through the hurt

Through the sorrow

Through the long

Long fight

I got a little old gospel

Singing me to the light

Call my name

When the world gets cold

Lift these hands

Take this heavy soul

If I stumble

If I lose my sight

Sing that old song

Till my bones feel light (hey!)

I still hear that voice say

"Everything is alright" (alright now)

In the midnight hour

I’m gonna be alright (be alright)

Through the hurt

Through the sorrow

Through the long

Long fight

I’m a black man singing gospel

Walking in the light
