Dar Williams - It's Alright lyrics

rate me

I know change is a bad thing

Breaks me down into a sorry sad thing

Not some iridescent grateful butterfly

I'll resist with defiance

Not the valor of a mystic silence

I will fight the dizzy spiral of goodbye

And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Please don't say you don't love me

Never dangle any sword above me

With the kind of change that severs me in two

Give me amberizing glasses

Could you slow it down like molasses

As I salvage my old self away from you?

Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Because I have seen insane things

All those grand, historic paintings

Morning light on polished swords and burnished pride

Anxious smiles encased in whalebone

Spines of steel from head to tail bone

Cannons poised to blast the turning of the tide

It's a sad and a strange thing

But it's time and I am changing

Into something good or bad, well, that's your guess

I'm my own sovereign nation

Dedicated to a transformation

Marching on with this target on my chest

Oh yes, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
