[Intro]
(It's alright)
(It's alright)
I can hear it
[Refrain]
(Alright, alright, alright, alright)
(Alright, alright, alright, alright)
[Verse 1]
Dictation being forced in Afghanistan
Revolution in South Africa taking a stand
People in Eurasia on the brink of oppression
[Chorus]
I hope it's gonna be alright
'Cause the music plays forever, yeah
(For it goes on and on and on and on)
I hope it's gonna be alright
(Alright, alright, alright, alright)
[Verse 2]
Generations will come and go
But there's one thing for sure
Music is our life's foundation
And shall succeed all the nations to come, yeah
[Chorus]
I hope it's gonna be alright
'Cause the music plays forever, yeah
(For it goes on and on and on and on)
I hope it's gonna be alright
(On and on and on and on)
'Cause the music plays forever, yeah
(For it goes on and on and on and on)
[Verse 3]
The year three thousand may still come to pass
But the music shall last
I can hear it on a timeless wavelength
Never dissipating, but giving us strength
[Chorus]
I hope it's gonna be alright
(Alright, alright, alright, alright)
(Alright, alright, alright, alright)
(Alright, alright, alright, alright)
(Alright, alright, alright, alright)
