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
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
