Story Behind The Song
I wrote the song as a reminder to myself when things are looking bleak. A mantra. There has always been light after the darkness.
Song Description
A reminder that anything is possible if an ant can pull way more than its weight and if we we don't set the worth of our children, etc.

Lyrics
GONNA BE ALRIGHT by A. Kismet Lyles
VERSE 1
If an ant can pull 10 times its weight
Then the smallest of us can be great
We were made to reach higher heights
And I know it's gonna be alright
If a child is innocent at birth
Then who am I to set her worth
Her free will could be our delight
And I know it's gonna be alright
CHORUS
And I know it's gonna be alright (4x)
VERSE 2
If all's not lost because you've learned
Then you can keep all that you've earned
Don't let life become an endless fight
You gotta' believe it's gonna be alright
If time goes on although your gone
Then I can't live my life forlorn
My vision must see beyond my sight
And I know it's gonna be alright
BRIDGE
Knocking down walls both seen and invisible
No need to fly, already riding high
'Cause I gain strength doing things thought impossible
Loving who I am from within
CHORUS (2x)
