William Crighton - After All (Good World) Lyrics

The brooding ghosts of the Australian night have gone from the bush and town
My spirit revives in the morning breeze
Though it died when the sun went down
And the river is high
And the steam is strong
And I must believe this world of ours is a good world after all

The light of passion in your dreamy eyes is a page of truth well read
The glorious thrill of a heart grown cold of the spirit I thought was dead
And a song that goes from a comrades heart
And a tear of pride let fall
And I believe this world my love is a grand world after all

Let our enemies go by their old dull tracks
And theirs be the fault or shame
The man who's bitter against the world
Has only himself to blame
Let the darkest part of the past be dark
And only the good recall
For a must believe this world
My love is a kind world after all

It's a good world
It's a good world

It may well be that I saw to plain
It may be I was blind
But I'll keep my face to the dawning light
Though the devil might stand behind
Though the devil may stand at my back
I'll not let his shadow fall
But read the signs in the morning stars of a good world after all

Rest for your eyes are weary
You've driven the worst away
The ghost of the man that I might have been is gone from my heart today
We'll live for life and the best it brings
Til our twilight shadows fall
And my heart grows brave and this world of ours is a good world after all

It's a good world
It's a good world
It's a good world baby, a good world Darlin a good world after all.
