Time to get out, I've paid my dues
I need to shout there's no time to lose
No more to give, the well is dry
The pavements worn, my brain is fried
It's time to get out, I've paid my dues
My shoes have holes, my socks are bare
The mirror's secret is I'm losing my hair
I'm in prison without a crime
The sentence stretches on undefined
It's time to get out, I've paid my dues
I've paid my dues

But everything's right
So just hold tight

Everything's right
So just hold tight

Everything's right
So just hold tight

Everything's right
So just hold tight

Everything's right
So just hold tight

Everything's right
So just hold tight

Everything's right
So just hold tight
Just hold tight

I'm going downhill with increasing speed
And compassion gives way, if you listen to greed
Focus on the past and that's what will last
Nothing that is real and nothing you can feel
Focus on tomorrow you'll have to borrow
Images and mind and thoughts you've left behind
Focus on today and you'll find a way
Happiness is how
Rooted in the now

'Cause, everything's right
So just hold tight

Everything's right
So just hold tight

Everything's right
So just hold tight
Just hold tight

Look into the eyes of everyone you meet
Try not to step on your best friend's feet
The line is in the sand, the flag is planted
The rest of your life
Don't take it for granted

'Cause, everything's right
So just hold tight

Everything's right
So just hold tight

Everything's right
So just hold tight

This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the sun's coming up now

This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
Yeah, oh yeah
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
Yeah, oh yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah it's gonna be alright
Everything's right
Everything's right
Alright, alright
Everything's right
It's gonna be alright
Everything's right
Right, right, right
It's gonna be alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
It's gonna be alright
Alright
Alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright
