Mr. E. Mann

I met a mystery man on a magic morning

Things were exciting that used to be boring

Things that were frightening now seemed inviting

And what used to be obscene now seemed the right thing

I had a crazy idea at just around 6:30

Things were so clear that had been murky

Things were so clean that had been dirty

And what used to be a dream now seemed a certainty

I was crying as I tried to get high

I've been dying all the time to get by

And along came a guy who said "Looking on the bright side's alright

It's alright

It's alright"

I got the strangest sensation when he looked in my direction

And my mind started racing when he offered me protection

And then I knew that my patience was rewarded

Hadn't known I had been waiting for it

And what used to be a waste became important

I was afraid of what the doctor might say

That I'd be made to learn to pray the right way

But then I saw a brave face say "Being afraid's okay

It's okay"

And it was so great to come under his glittering gaze

He wipes the winter away

See the brave face make all the races wanna say

"Looking on the bright side's alright

Looking on the bright side's alright

Looking on the bright side's alright

Looking on the bright side's alright

It's alright (It's alright)

It's alright (It's alright)

It's alright (It's alright)

It's alright (It's alright)

It's alright (It's alright)

It's alright (It's alright)

It's alright (It's alright)

Alright!"
