[Verse 1]
Time to get out, I paid my dues
I need to shout, there's no time to lose
No more to give, the well is dry
The pavement's worn, my brain is fried
It's time to get out, I paid my dues
My shoes have holes, my socks are bare
The mirror's secret is I'm losing my hair
I'm in prison without a crime
The sentence stretches on undefined
It's time to get out, I paid my dues
I paid my dues

[Chorus]
But everything's right, so just hold tight
Everything's right, so just hold tight
Everything's right, so just hold tight
Everything's right, so just hold tight
Everything's right, so just hold tight
Everything's right, so just hold tight
Everything's right, so just hold tight
Just hold tight

[Verse 2]
I'm going downhill with increasing speed
And compassion gives way if you listen to greed
Focus on the past and that's what will last
Nothing that is real and nothing you can feel
Focus on tomorrow, you'll have to borrow
Images in mind of thoughts you left behind
Focus on today, you'll find a way
Happiness is how rooted in the now
[Chorus]
'Cause everything's right, so just hold tight
Everything's right, so just hold tight
Everything's right, so just hold tight
Just hold tight

[Verse 3]
Look into the eyes of everyone you meet
Try not to step on your best friend's feet
The line is in the sand, the flag is planted
The rest of your life, don't take it for granted

[Chorus]
'Cause everything's right, so just hold tight
Everything's right, so just hold tight
Everything's right, so just hold tight

[Refrain]
This world, this world, this crazy world I know
It turns, it turns, and the long night's over and the sun's coming up
This world, this world, this crazy world I know
It turns, it turns, and the long night's over and the sun's coming up
This world, this world, this crazy world I know
It turns, it turns, and the long night's over and the sun's coming up
This world, this world, this crazy world I know
It turns, it turns, and the long night's over and the sun's coming up now
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Refrain]
This world, this world, this crazy world I know
It turns, it turns, and the long night's over and the sun's coming up
This world, this world, this crazy world I know
It turns, it turns, and the long night's over and the sun's coming up

[Outro]
Yeah, oh yeah (Yeah, yeah)
And the long night's over and the sun's coming up
Yeah, oh yeah (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's gonna be alright
Everything's right, everything's right
Alright, alright, everything's right
It's gonna be alright
Everything's right, right, right, right
It's gonna be alright, alright
Alright, alright
It's gonna be alright, alright, alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, alright
