It's All Right Here - Jim Messina

When I was young, oh no, I never thought twice

About the beauty of the mother

I’ve done my share of walking on her pretty face

I took for granted what she offered.

And then one day I saw a photograph of Mars

I saw a dead and barren planet

And from that photograph I’ve come to realize

That everything we really need is here.

You know it’s all right here, everything is here

Oh now, everything we really need is here.

I’ve read of men who travel far within themselves

They seek the light for their direction

They spend their whole lives searching for that inner space

To bring them closer to perfection.

Now we may choose to journey high among the stars

Or search within for our Creator

But from our travels we will come to realize

That everything we really need is here.

You know it’s all right here, everything is here

Oh, everything we really need is here.

Yes, it’s all right here, everything is here

Oh now, everything we really need is here

Mmm, it’s all right.

I’ve seen the forest where the big pines touch the sky

I’ve heard the sound of wildlife calling

I taste the sweetness from the fruit right on the trees

I love the fragrance of her blossoms.

And as I touch my foot upon this fertile soil

I feel the source of our creation

Upon this planet I have come to realize

Oh, that everything we really need is here.

You know it’s all right here, everything is here

Oh now, everything we really need is here

Yes, it’s all right here, everything is here

Oh now, everything we really need is here.

It’s all right, gonna be all right, it’s all right here.
