Everything's Alright

there is one song that i always sing whenever i feel stressed out or depressed. It's a song that came from the musical jesus christ superstar, and was sung by yvonne elliman, who is also a Filipina. She's the one who played mary magdalene in both the stage and film version.
The song was sung in the scene wherein mary magdalene was washing the feet of jesus christ, and she was trying to make jesus relax and forget all the problems that he was thinking of. Sometimes a soothing touch is all that is needed to make one forget all the cares in the world... everything's all right, yes everything's fine.

Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
oh Don't you know
Everything's alright
Yes everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try
We'll get by
So forget all about us tonight


Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes


Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
oh Then you'll feel
Everything's all right
Yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
And relax
Think of nothing tonight

Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes
