Lyrics[]

Good old Kansas sunshine gold
Wonder if I'm ever gonna get so old
That I don't wanna fight
Sleep peaceful through the night
Never care if it's ever right
Oh I really do believe it's gonna be okay
I really do believe it's gonna be okay

Good old Sunday morning sky
Gotta get it together for another try
Check the glass to see what I wanna be
Can I ever set it free
Oh I really do believe it's gonna be okay
I really do believe it's gonna be okay

"That is why, my lady" said the yogi in the road
"The rule is so almighty and what the law forbode
Made the child into this thing that cannot act and barely sing"

It's a good old dream and I want some more
What am I makin' all this music for
Why do I trip alone tryin' to get back home
Cold, soaked to the bone
Oh I really do believe it's gonna be okay
I really do believe it's gonna be okay

"That is why, my lady" said the yogi in the shade
"Time let shine so brightly and what the law has made
Turned the boy into this thing that cannot act and barely sing"

"That is why, my lady" said the yogi in the bus
"The ropes are tied so tightly and what the law made us
Made the man into this thing that cannot act and barely sing
That cannot act and barely sing"
