Persistent earworm alert CCCXC

I haven't heard Christopher Cross's 1983 hit, "All Right," in years, but it entered my mind this morning.  The grounded optimism with which Cross sings this underscores that giving a relationship another try might be advisable.  The lyrics suggest that it'll succeed because--well, the protagonist just feels like it will.

That's flimsy justification for giving a relationship another go, but during this not so great year for our country, perhaps today's earworm is a subconscious wish for something to turn out well for some deserving people somewhere.
