I believe a change is going to come
That yesterday is over
I do yeah I do yeah
The clouds have silver linings after all
I’ve seen them with my own eyes
It’s true yeah – it’s true yeah
Though darkness overcomes you now
Morning will break through somehow
It’s all gonna be alright – it’s all gonna be alright
Even this will pass – tomorrow comes at last
It’s all gonna be alright – it’s all gonna be alright
It’s all gonna be alright
The grass is greener on the other side
No matter what they tell you
It’s beautiful – so beautiful
Sow in tears and reap with songs of joy
No sorrow lasts forever
It’s true yeah – it’s true yeah
There never was a darkest night
Without the promise of the morning light
It’s all gonna be…
Behind the Song:"This is actually a song for Africa, for South Africa (our country of origin) in particular. It began life as an insignificant, half-completed demo in 2004 and has become a hymn for Tree63 and all our South African fans, for whom we debuted the song on our 2007 South African tour. The lyrics can be applied to anyone struggling. Everyone needs to be reminded that “this too shall pass,” but Africa is definitely the heartbeat of the song." - John Ellis (
