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!
