Everything gonna be all-right 
I went deep down into that river now. I rose up. 
I felt that sun beat down upon this sinner's face. 
I went deep in that water now. I rose up. 
I felt that sun beat down upon my face 
Everything gonna be all-right 
So the I smash the palace like the son of Samson, 
Hollerin' louder than all of Bedlam, 
Take me to higher ground, 
The bury my body six feet down. 
I walked forty miles out into that desert now. 
Wailed and moaned, till a Lion, He called my name. 
And He said that Old Ship of Zion is taking way way out, 
Out into outer space. 
And He said everything gonna be all-right 
I climbed the highest of the heights. 
Atop that mountain I watched the day turn into night. 
Oh I tell you I was a wretched sight, 
But I stood long and hard until the light. 
Rubbing needles in my eyes, eating dirt. 
I stood up, and everything was all-right.
