1
You look out your window at the cold grey dawn
2
It's seven o'clock on a Monday morning
3
Pour a cup of coffee, better make it a strong one
4
Weather man on the radio says
5
It's going to rain and it's going to blow
6
But i'll be all right, it'll be all right, it'll be all right in the long run
7
Australia marched out of Vietnam
8
Out on the streets against Uncle Sam,
9
We won the fight, it was a long one
10
Uranium demo the other day
11
One of my mates got dragged away
12
As they slammed the door I heard her say
13
It'll be all right in the long run
14
Italian bloke who works with me
15
We swap laughs and company
16
And he slapped me on the back
17
Said "You're wrong, son
18
This isn't the land I was told it would be
19
It's not so equal and not so free
20
But i'll be all right, it'll be all right, it'll be all right in the long run"
21
From the shadow of history a convict screams
22
The shearers curse, the people dream
23
We've taken some right turns
24
They've been the wrong ones
25
Troop ships leave and the headlines blaze
26
Australia remembers happier days
27
And the faith lives on within the haze
28
It'll be all right in the long run
29
So you sit in your camp and you stare at the fire
30
The doubts drop away as the hopes get higher
31
And you sing to yourself
32
It'll be all right, it'll be all right in the long run
33
And the sun gives ground to a long cold night
34
You screw your courage for another night
35
But you know in your heart
36
But i'll be all right, it'll be all right, it'll be all right in the long run
37
And the sun streams in with power and might
38
And you look at your kids in a different light
39
And you know in your heart as you kiss them goodnight
40
It'll be all right in the long run.
