Don't Worry About A Thing
Van Morrison · How Long Has This Been Going On [1995]
Sitting round wondering just what to think
Well I've got some consolation
and I'll give it to you if I might
You know I don't worry about a thing because
Cuz' I know nothings gonna be alright
Well this world's just one big troubled spot
Some have plenty, and some have not
Ya know I used to be troubled but
I finally saw the light
Now I don't worry about a thing because I know
Nothing's gonna be alright
Don't spend your time trying to be a go getter
Things will get worse before they get any better
Ya know there's always somebody playing with dynamite
You know I don't worry about a thing because I know
Nothings gonna be alright.
