Come now, mother, look what you've done, you've freed the captivefrom the bond
Come now, lady, look what you've done, you've tamed the lion on the run
Come now, sister, look at this life
You're a queen, you're a love, you're a noble wife
To all the queens of peace and truth
To all the men and all the youth
You're the teacher of teachers, the tissue of tears
The courage behind all the fears
You're like the sun on the moon by the light of the light
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Come now, lady, don't cry so hard
Not every wound has to leave a scar
Come now, sister, it's only in the night
That we see the stars shine so bright
Come now, mama, the sun will rise
And even if it don't, we're in God's Eyes
And He understands the language of pain
He washes it away like the summer rain
You're the teacher of teachers, the tissue of tears
The courage behind all the fears
You're like the sun on the moon by the light of the light
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Believe in that and it'll be alright
Don't worry if your life doesn't play out with perfect symmetry
I say there's nothing wrong with a life that grows like a tree
Come now, lady, don't cry tonight
If you want what you want, you gotta learn to fight
So take God's Hand and follow the flight
And, baby, hold on with all of you might
And know all along that a dog's gonna bite
But believe in God and it'll be alright
Believe in God and it'll be alright
Believe in God and it'll be alright
Believe in God and it'll be alright
Believe in God and it'll be alright
Believe in God and it'll be alright
Believe in God and it'll be alright
Believe in God and it'll be alright
Believe in God and it'll be alright
Believe in God and it'll be alright
