Everything’s Turning Out All Right (Everything)

I never thought I'd live to see the age of twenty
But you can see by the state of my stomach that I’m not dead
I thought the world would end in Fire and Winter
But if you look out the window you'll see it hasn't happened yet

And everything’s turning out all right, everything
Everything's turning out all right - oh yeah
Everything's turning out all right, everything
Everything's turning out all right - oh yeah

I thought that I would live my life alone and lonely
But it turns out, nowadays, I probably won't
I thought that I repelled all women instantly
But evidence has been brought to light to show that I don't
(at least not always)

And everything's turning out all right, everything
Everything's turning out all right - oh yeah
Everything’s turning out all right, everything
Everything’s turning out all right - oh yeah

And you might say "Have you seen the news?"
"It's all really bad"
I’d reply - I've seen the news
And yes, it makes me sad to know that
People like you
And people like me
Have to live their lives unhappily
But I can only speak for me
And as far as I can see

Everything's turning out all right, everything
Everything's turning out all right - oh yeah
Everything’s turning out all right, everything
Everything's turning out all right - oh yeah

Now, some people say they see the world as if the glass is half empty
Some people say they see the world as if the glass is half full
Other people yet say that that's a redundant metaphor -
Maybe the glass is half full 'cos that's all you're going to get?
Or
Maybe the glass is half empty 'cause you drank the rest
And really liked it

Yeah, anyway that's not the point I'm trying to make
See, I'll base how I feel my feelings are upon the way I feel
And not the way I feel I ought to feel

Because it's not gonna make much difference to the world if you
Pile all the panic of the planet upon your back
And though I know the world's awash with woe and weeping, that's no reason
For a frown when you know this FACT -

Everything's turning out all right, everything
Everything's turning out all right - oh yeah
Everything's turning out all right, everything
Everything's turning out all right - oh yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
