Verse 1: Alisha Popat

We are all facing disaster
But we know, this won’t last forever
We will sing and we will be outside
We will hold hands, we will laugh and we will cry.

Pre chorus - Raiesa Ladha

But for now we know the beauty of a window,
How we see the leaves rustle when the wind blows.
We are warm and we are safe inside,
So just hold on
Everything will be alright.

Chorus 1 - Everything’s going to be alright, everything’s gonna be just fine, raise your head and close your eyes, take your worries to the sky.

Verse 2

Let it shine through the darkness

Ari Mediratta - Faith is the way to holding us together
We will never be alone.

Ari- ( Raiesa harmonies) So let us break these chains of fear
Escape the battles within our minds
Tear away from death and destruction,
We’ll find a way right out of here.


Chorus: Chorus 1 - Everything’s going to be alright, everything’s gonna be just fine, raise your head and close your eyes, take your worries to the sky.

Verse 3-

This is our silver lining,
We have become more united.
let us see the light despite being surrounded
By the darkness and our fears chasing us.

Bonu - On jo ki umed ast imon asar orad,

Gulya - Every sunrise is our new hope,
So just stay strong and let the sun shine bright,
Just remember, everything will be
