Some say life is hard Like swimming upstream or going against the grain But I say life ain't that hard, 'Cuz I've seen how the joy outweighs the pain. So you can sit and whine about the time You've been having; Oh but as for me I choose to be As happy as I can be. Because I'm alright Trouble may find me, But it's not gonna keep me down, Cuz I'll hold on tight To the father who loves me, And he likes having me around. Yeah he loves me, and he cares for me, And so I'll be... Alright We go 'round and 'round Back and forth and almost upside-down To buy who we are: A great big house, nice jeans, and a shiny car. But I'm learning that this world keeps turning With or without me; So I'll do my best, I'm gonna leave the rest To the one watching over me. Because I'm alright Trouble may find me, But it's not gonna keep me down, Cuz I'll hold on tight To the father who loves me, And he likes having me around. Yeah he loves me, and he cares for me, And so I'll be... Alright Alright... Alright... Alright, Alright, I'm Alright...
