Lyrics
IT WILL BE ALRIGHT
Words and music by Steven Shefler

I awoke to the sound of crying
A voice that broke the night
I lay awhile staring blindly
Wondering of this fright
Who could it be; who lost their way
I wish I could help
If it were me, what would I say
To comfort myself.
I?d say
It will be alright
Keep believing there?s a way
Just make it through tonight
Love will find you soon some day
It will be all right
I couldn?t sleep so I went out walking
The night was bitingly cold
I walked past the faceless people
Some rich, some poor, some old
There on a bench sat an old woman crying
Shivering cold and alone
I took off my coat and wrapped it around her
Warmed her hands in my own
And I said
It will be alright
Keep believing there?s a way
Just make it through tonight
Love will find you soon some day
It will be all right
I bought her some coffee and she told me her story
How none of her family survived
And all her friends were now long dead and buried
She asked, why am I still alive
She said to me, boy, I can see you?re unhappy
Why were you walking alone?
Through tears I confessed I had just lost a lover
And I?m afraid to die old and alone.
And she said
It will be alright
Keep believing there?s a way
Just make it through tonight
Love will find you soon some day
It will be all right
It will be alright
Keep believing there?s a way
Just make it through tonight
Love will find you soon some day
It will be all right
