With some golden yarn she went a-spinnin'
Off to sow her oats with another face.
The time had come and she was tired of sinnin',
And the guilt weighed heavy
So she sought out for some grace.
With an empty heart he went a-searchin'
Looking for some shoes that wouldn't wear out.
His world became so rocky and he was a-hurtin'
And how often he wondered
What this life was all about.

What's it all about'
What's it all about'
I gotta know,
Can you tell me what it's all about'

With some silver line, they went a-fishin,
Waiting round for years to catch a bite.
They cried in desperation for some vision,
And right away Someone came
And He just turned on the light.

Just turned on the light,
Just turned on the light.
Now we can see clearly cause
He just turned on the light.
Just turned on the light,
Just turned on the light.
Now we can see clearly cause
He just turned on the light.

Like a shepherd He'll forever lead us.
Bring us safely through,
Bring us safely through the night.
Whenever we are bound, He'll come free us,
And we need not worry,
He assures us it's alright.

Everything's alright,
Everything's alright,
No need to worry children,
Cause everything's alright.
