Cover art for Make It Alright lyrics by Sammy Hagar & the Waboritas

Make it Alright is about being optimistic and holding on in the face of adversity. It is not a complicated song, but rather an upbeat, peppy "shot in the arm" to get you going.

This is a great song and it was written by Sammy Hagar in 2002 for his "Not 4 Sale" album. It is reminiscent of an earlier song that Sammy wrote in 1992, called "Right Now" for Van Halen. Both songs are about shedding the past and seizing the day and trying to do what you can do in this moment.

It also reminds me of a famous old quote by Teddy Roosevelt: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
