Some say life is hard Like swimming upstream or going against the grain
But I say, life ain't that hard 'cause I've seen how the joy outweighs the pain So you can sit and whine about the time you've been having
Oh, but as for me, I choose to be as happy as I can be
Because I'm alright Trouble may find me, but it's not gonna keep me down So I'll hold on tight to the father who loves me he likes having me around
Yeah, he loves me, and he cares for me and so I'll be alright
We go 'round and 'round Back and forth, and almost upside-down to buy who we are A great big house, nice jeans, and a shiny car
But I'm learning that this world keeps turning with or without me so I'll do my best and leave the rest to the one watching over me
Because I'm alright trouble may find me, but it's not gonna keep me down so I'll hold on tight to the father who loves me, he likes having me around yeah, he loves me, and he cares for me and so I'll be alright
