[First version: Track 2]
Step up yeah come on I'm alright
Ya wanna be alright you gotta walk tall
Step up come on step up
Ya wanna be alright you gotta walk tall
Well I've strolled across some dance floors
Filled with girls all dressed in red
Pulled my foot from my mouth
And took back the things I've said
Wanderin' through the valley
Of the shadow of the dead
Stumbled on this old sun dial
There these words I read:
I only count the sunny hours
Brightest hours of day
I never count the gloomy hours
I let them slip away
And I realize I'm away
C'mon
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm alright y'all
Alright y'all
Ya wanna be alright
Ya gotta walk tall
C'mon step up
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm alright y'all
Alright y'all
Ya wanna be alright
Ya gotta walk tall
C'mon
Ya gotta walk tall, y'all
Well I woke up in too many beds
With girls I didn't know
I seen lots of brothers up top
And I watched them come and go
Tell me why I'm not there with them
In the valley down below
I give thanks every day
For these words they save my soul:
I only count the sunny hours
Brightest hours of day
I never count the gloomy hours
I let them slip away
And I realize I'm away
C'mon
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm alright y'all
Alright y'all
Ya wanna be alright
Ya gotta walk tall
C'mon step up
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm alright y'all
Alright y'all
Ya wanna be alright
Ya gotta walk tall
C'mon
It's like the wise man said
Relax yourself
When it's movin' too fast
Set it down
When the goin' gets tough
It gets ya goin'
If ya really wanna speak
Then make a sound
Keep your eyes on the prize
And realize
That this trouble's gonna
Come in all shapes and sizes
Well ya gotta stay strong
Don't let your knees buckle
Ya gotta keep the hustle
Keep hustlin' movin' groovin'
Let the lovin'
Let the lovin' come back to me
Bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it back to me
Let the lovin'
Let the lovin' come back to me
Bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it back to me
Let the lovin'
Let the lovin' come back to me
Bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it back to me
Let the lovin'
Let the lovin' come back to me
C'mon
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Everything's gonna be alright
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm alright y'all
Alright y'all
Ya wanna be alright
Ya gotta walk tall
C'mon
Everything's gonna be alright
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Everything's gonna be alright
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Alright y'all
Ya wanna be alright
Ya gotta walk tall

[Reprise version: Track 17]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Well I've strolled across some dance floors
Filled with girls all dressed in red
Pulled my foot from my mouth
And took back the things I've said
Wanderin' through the valley
Of the shadow of the dead
Stumbled on this old sun dial
There these words I read:
I only count the sunny hours
Brightest hours of day
I never count the gloomy hours
I let them slip away
And when the sky is dark and gray
And there's no love around
I simply just refuse to count
Until Sol comes around
And sweeps those clouds away
And I realize I'm away
Sun keep shinin' on
Well I've done a little time
But I haven't had a lot
Gotta give thanks for the lovin' that I got
Punk rock, concrete, doggy in the street
My lady ran away, but I'm feelin' super-sweet
Well love will never die
But that's how it's gotta be
Rockin' rub-a-dub will pay the family
As time rolls by with every loss in mobility
On and on, share the memory
And when the sky is dark and gray
There's no love around
I simply just refuse to count
Until Sol comes around
Till Sol comes around
Till Sol comes around
Till Sol comes around
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let the lovin'
Let the lovin' come back to me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let the lovin'
Let the lovin' come back to me
I only count the sunny hours
Brightest hours of day
I never count the gloomy hours
I let them slip away
And when the sky is dark and gray
And there's no love around
I simply just refuse to count
Until Sol comes around
And sweeps those clouds away
And I realize I'm away
Sun keep shinin' on
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sun keep shinin' on
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
