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.
