They're putting up another five-star hotel
just where the ocean waves meet the golden sand
everybody's waiting for that special swell
some cry, some laugh and some it's hard to tell
On every shore they're still asking for justice
along every coast they're still wishin' for peace
but in every street they're still fightin' for freedom
So don't close your eyes - to these changing times
and say it's all right - just speak your mind
build your dreams high - and hold on tight (chorus)
and say it's all right - say it's all right.
Soul surfing on the dirty crest of urgency
everyone knows the ride it ain't toll-free
the race is on, and it's just sink or swim
maybe it's when you lose that you really win
On every shore they're still waiting for changes
along every coast they're still searching for hope
in every town they're still lookin' for real love
So don't close your eyes - to these tryin' times
and say it's all right - just speak your mind
build your dreams high - and hold on tight
and say it's all right - say it's all right.
On every shore they're still waiting for changes
along every coast they're still wishin' for peace
all over the world they're still lookin' for true love
So don't close your eyes - to these troubled times
and say it's all right - speak out your mind
build your dreams high - and hold on tight
and say it's all right, say it's all right...
Don't close your eyes - to these changin' times
and say it's all right - speak out your mind
don't run and hide - stay in the light
and say it's all right, all right...
