I went and quit the man, without a backup plan
I've been across the land, without a dime in my hand
Or a dream in my head, and I better not change things now
"Keep trying," they said, "Soon, it'll all work out"
If penniless was satisfied, and pen and paper kept bills on time
If hungry mouths could do just as well without...
But "Keep trying," they said, "Soon, it'll all work out"
It'll all work out
The sun is shining
It'll all work out
The dream ain't dying
It'll all work out
It's better than it was before
It'll all work out
If poverty could just pop a pill
I wouldn't have to work, I wouldn't have to steal
I wouldn't have to have a stranger help me out
But "Keep trying," they said, "Soon, it'll all work out"
It'll all work out
The sun is shining
It'll all work out
The dream ain't dying
It'll all work out
It's better than it was before
It'll all work out
I can't keep up with Mr. Jones
When his feet are up, and mine are worn to the bone
I've left no stone unturned, I'm crying out
But "Keep trying," they said, "Soon, it'll all work out"
It'll all work out
The sun is shining
It'll all work out
The dream ain't dying
It'll all work out
It's better than it was before
It'll all work out
I believe
It'll all work out
I can see
It'll all work out
It's better than it was before
It'll all work out
