They Gonna Be Alright

(albüm: The Homeland - 2023)

One thing we all have in common today as parents
Is that we all seem to have the same worries for our children
But dig this
Let's nuh worry too much
They know what it is
It's their future, their world
So this one is for strength
We livicate this one to all parents round the world
Listen good

Sometimes they drive u crazy (oh yeah)
Sometimes they make u smile (uh)
Sometimes they don't listen, they don't listen
Sometimes they ask for advice
Oh my... ha, yeah

But don't worry for the children (Don't worry for them, don't worry)
They gonna be alright (Just like we were)
They gonna be alright yeah (Just like we turned out)
They gonna be alright (Just like we turned out)
Now don't worry for the children (Don't worry for them, don't worry)
They gonna be alright (Just like we were)

I tell u this is their world
Dem ah set the terms for the future
Dem know exactly weh dem want
I tell u this is their world
Don't worry for their future
Jah watching over them yea
All we do for them as their parents
One day dem will look over everything and say
My parents warn me bout this day
So let me apply their ways
There'll come a time they'll be searching for answers
And the only place to turn
Is to those who raised them (yeah)

So don't worry for the children (Don't worry for them, don't worry)
They gonna be alright (Just like we were)
They gonna be alright (Just like we turned out)
They gonna be alright (Just like we turned out)
Now don't worry for the children (Don't worry for them, don't worry)
They gonna be alright (Just like we were)

They gonna be alright (Just like we turned out)

Now we're living in the days when the stars fall
Heard about the good ole days when it was all love
Passengers arrive for the payoff
Working hard to touch the sky, laid off
Then you're wondering
You're in your feelings now
How fast we rise and fall what is that all about
So you cop some bud just to hold a vibe
Take a little journey while you searching for the answers (huh)
Give love to the children
Young Kings and Queens we're building (uh)
And who's to be the judge what matters in life
It's like you're living in the matrix and your life is a lie (yup!)
I've been where you've been and I'll say that
Life isn't easy but you can be great
Don't forget the teachings and the guidance
Trust in your faith in the lord and it be alright
Be patient with the children
They growing with time they building
Extraordinary goals is bound to unfold
And everything is gonna be just fine

So don't worry for the children (Don't worry for them, don't worry)
They gonna be alright (Just like we were)
They gonna be alright yea (Just like we turned out)
They gonna be alright (Just like we turned out)
Now don't worry for the children (Don't worry for them, don't worry)
They gonna be alright (Just like we were)
They gonna be alright yeah (Just like we turned out)
They gonna be alright (Just like we turned out)

So don't worry for the children (Don't worry for them, don't worry)
They gonna be alright (Just like we were)
They gonna be alright yeah (Just like we turned out)
They gonna be alright (Just like we turned out)
Now don't worry for the children (Don't worry for them, don't worry)
They gonna be alright (Just like we were)
They gonna be alright yeah (Just like we turned out)
They gonna be alright (Just like we turned out)
