Lyrics
All Good
Dave Nachmanoff
Young man, living on his own in New York City
Chasing down the shadow of a dream
One day, found out that the business has no pity
Met a man who wasn’t what he seemed
Though he destroyed me for a while
Looking back now I just smile
CHORUS:
Cause it’s good, it’s all good
Everything’s exactly as it needs to be
Though sometimes we can’t see from where we stand
All is good – it’s all good
Seeking refuge in those hallowed ivory towers
Realized my terrible mistake
Years spent wrestling the academic powers
In the end I only narrowly escaped
And though it’s painful to recall
Now I have no regrets at all
(CHORUS)
Bridge:
All the troubles that I faced
Helped to bring me to this place
Where it's good
It's all good
The best of all possible worlds
It's all good
(SOLO)
Seems like I don’tneed a financial advisor
To know I’ll never be a millionaire
Years pass, Is there any hope I'm getting wiser?
Streaks of silver running through my hair
But looking back on where I’ve been
I wouldn’t trade this life I’m in…
CHORUS
