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!"
