Last night I had a dream,
About a home that was so bright,
I don't know why,
It has to be a dream.

Why can't I,
Where will I,
God help me,
Help me find a home.

Just keep your eyes on the prize,
Don't be dismayed,
Don't be dismayed.

Deep in your heart,
You must believe:
Everything is gonna be alright,
Everything is gonna be alright,
Everything is gonna be alright someday!

Sometimes it's hard,
Sometimes it's cold.

(Choir: Ooooo)

Sometimes I'm in,
Sometimes I'm out.
No! I haven't had much to eat,
Lord knows I haven't had much sleep!

So keep your eyes on the prize,
Don't be dismayed,
Don't be dismayed.

Deep in your heart,
You must believe:

Everything is gonna be alright,
Everything is gonna be alright,
Everything is gonna be alright someday!

We shall overcome
We shall overcome.

Everything is gonna be alright,
someday!
