Oh You look out your window at the cold grey dawn |
|
It's seven o'clock on a |
|
Monday morning |
|
Pour a cup of coffee, better make it a strong one |
|
Weather man on the radio says |
|
It's going to rain and it's going to blow |
|
It'll be all right, it'll be all right |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
Australia marched out of |
|
VietnamOut on the streets against |
|
Uncle Sam, |
|
We won the fight, it was a long one |
|
Uranium demo the other day |
|
One of my mates got dragged away |
|
As they slammed the door |
|
I heard her say |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
Italian bloke who works with me |
|
And we swap laughs and company |
|
And he slapped me on the back |
|
Said "Your wrong, sonThis isn't the land I was told it would beIt's not so equal and not so free" |
|
It'll be all right, it'll be all right |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
It'll be all right, it'll be all right |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
It'll be all right, it'll be all right |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
It'll be all right, it'll be all right |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
It'll be all right, it'll be all right |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
It'll be all right, it'll be all right |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
From the shadow of history a convict screams |
|
The shearers curse, the people dream |
|
We've taken some right turns |
|
They've been the wrong ones |
|
Troop ships leave and the headlines blaze |
|
Australia remembers happier days |
|
Faith lives on within the haze |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
So you sit in your camp and you stare at the fire |
|
The doubts drop away as the hopes get higher |
|
And you sing to yourself |
|
It'll be all right |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
And the sun gives ground to a long cold night |
|
Screw your courage for another night |
|
But you know in your heart |
|
It'll be all right |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
|
And the sun streams in with power and might |
|
And you look at your kids in a different light |
|
And you know in your heart as you kiss them goodnight |
|
It'll be all right in the long run |
