Piano keys hammering down Wayward strums balance a wall of sound Iron horses idle on deserted tracks Even the Pope says it's the earth fightin' back It's alright The worst will soon be over Let the rhythm rise, like a banner With more sorrow than anger Who now speaks of the fires that ravaged towns Boats cross the Arctic since glaciers melted down Turbulent rains never before seen Caused the floods that washed away dreams It's alright The worst will soon be over Let the rhythm rise, like a banner With more sorrow than anger Now's the time to reconcile our souls With a hopeful ear turned to Muscle Shoals With a watchful eye, the story will rise above The mad iron hand in the velvet glove It's alright The worst will soon be over Let the rhythm rise, like a banner With more sorrow than anger Let the rhythm rise, like a banner With more sorrow than anger With more sorrow than anger
