He Would Say

I've been waking up too early
Just to lose some more sleep
I've been hiding from my pride
While i'm looking for a dream
Oh but what if I change my mind
Will I find my wasted time
There's somebody I look up to
I could only hope to be
If we had the conversation
I know exactly what he'd say to me
What he'd say to me

He would say you'll be alright
If you know where to turn to
You'll lose this fight
If you don't ever learn to
Keep it in balance and always know
You can only get higher if you've been low
He'd say you'll be alright
If you live in the moment
Don't give up on life
It's your only opponent
If you can only be honest
I'll make you this promise

I'd say if i made a lot of money
I could buy you a house
And then maybe i could say
I got it all figured out
Cause you know it don't grow on trees
But you would tell me son
You'll never owe me a thing

I said what about the times
When I lose my way
He said there will come a time
I won't be here to say
The greatest things in life are free
So even if you're sleeping on streets

Just know you'll be alright
If you know where to turn to
You'll lose this fight
If you don't ever learn to
Keep it in balance and always know
You can only get higher if you've been low
He'd say you'll be alright
If you live in the moment
Don't give up on life
It's your only opponent
If you can only be honest
I'll make you this promise

He'd say you'll be alright
You'll be alright
He'd say you'll be alright
You'll be alright

There's somebody I look up to
I could only hope to be
If we had the conversation
I know exactly what he'd say to me
What he'd say to me

He would say you'll be alright
If you know where to turn to
You'll lose this fight
If you don't ever learn to
Keep it in balance and always know
You can only get higher if you've been low
He'd say you'll be alright
If you live in the moment
Don't give up on life
It's your only opponent
If you can only be honest
I'll make you this promise

He'd say you'll be alright
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
He'd say you'll be alright
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
