right, right now

you can twist your neck as far as you want

just to watch your back and keep walking into walls

kicking at the plaster, it would take you faster

just to turn your nose around and find what’s cooking down the hall

you can find what’s cooking down the hall

good intentions are just that

and thinking everything will just fall into your lap

or a mystical, miracle will land upon your doorstep

all that time that you spend waiting you ain’t ever gonna get back

i want to make it right

oh, i want to make it all right

oh, i want to make it all right, right now

so surround yourself in things you want

and what you need goes missing with the writings on the wall

that you have been erasing and i’ve been working at retracing

all those painted over words direction arrows and all….

i want …is to make it all right

i try to make it all right

oh, i want to make it all right, right now

all your pictures of me keep turning out so blurry

i ain’t sitting still but i ain’t in no hurry

and everybody wants to be understood and loved

and you can place me under both of the above

so turn your head to watch your back

and your shoulders ain’t the only thing you’re throwing out of whack

‘cause you can only see so far with the corner of your eye

and you ain’t getting nowhere and you don’t know why

don’t you try to make it right?

oh, why don’t you want to make it right?

oh, i want to make it all right, right now

all right somehow
