I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
Ob-observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we have lost
In this great future, you can′t forget your past
So dry your tears, I said
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
And then georgie would make the fire lights
As it was logwood burning through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I′ll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone, I mean
Everything gonna be alright!
Everything gonna be alright!
Everything gonna be alright!
Everything gonna be alright!
I said, everything gonna be alright!
Everything gonna be alright!
Everything gonna be alright, now!
Everything gonna be alright!
I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
And then georgie would make the fire lights
As it was logwood burning through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I′ll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
