INDIGO GIRLS - it's alright lyrics

rate me

it's alright forty days of rain

my skin stretched out from the growing pain

it'd be nice to have an explanation

but it's alright

and it's alright if you hate that way

hate me cause i'm different

you hate me cause i'm gay

truth of the matter come around one day

it's alright

i look at this lifeline stretched way all across my hand

i look at the burned out empty like a plague across the land

and for everything i learn there are two i don't understand

that's while i'm still on a search

through the weather strewn church

i'm doing the best that i can

and it's alright

and it's alright though we worry and fuss

(alright)

we can't get over the hump or get over us

(we can't get over us)

it seems easier to push than to let go and trust

(alright)

but it's alright

when we get a little distant some things get clearer

yeah give em the space some hearts grow nearer

i ran as hard as i could i still ended up here

and it's alright

as i look at this lifeline stretched way all across my hand

(lifeline all across my hand)

i look at the fires of hatred

(fire)

burning up the bounty of this beautiful land

(burning up the land)

i know that i'm small in a way but i know i'm strong

and it's my thirst that brought me to the water

well i give it all up then she carries me on

it's alright

yeah

and it's alright if i feel afraid

my plans in pieces

my plans mislaid

it's the will of the way

(the will of the way)

the will of the way

(it's the will of the way)

the will of the only way that could have brought me here today

and it's alright

and it's alright
