After All (Good World) Lyrics by William Crighton

Water and Dust

2022

[Verse 1]
The broodin' ghosts of the Australian night
Have gone from the bush and town
My spirit revives in the mornin' breeze
Though it died when the sun went down
And the river is high
And the steam is strong
And the grass is green and tall
And I finally think this world of ours is a good world after all
[Verse 2]
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 to a comrade's heart
And a tear of pride let fall
And I must believe this world, my love, is a grand world after all
[Verse 3]
Let our еnemies go by their old dull tracks
And thеirs be the fault or shame
The man who's bitter against the world
Who has only himself to blame
Let the darkest part of the past be dark
And only the good recall
For I must believe that this world, my love, is a kind world after all
[Chorus]
Oh, it's a good world
Oh, it's a good world
[Verse 4]
Oh, it may well be that I saw too plain
It may be I was blind
But I'll keep my face toward the dawnin' 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 mornin' stars of a good world after all
[Verse 4]
Oh, 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
[Chorus]
Oh, it's a good world
Oh, it's a good world
Oh, it's a good world, baby
It's a good world, darling
A good world after all
Oh, it's a good world
A good world
