INDIGO GIRLS LYRICS - It's Alright

"It's Alright"



It's alright forty days of rain my skin stretched our from the growing pain

I'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, hate me cause I'm gay

Truth of the matter come around one day so 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 why I'm still on a search through the weather strewn church I'm doing the best

I can and it's alright

And it's alright though we worry and fuss, we can't get over the hump or get over us

It seems easier to push than to let go and trust but it's alright

When we get a little distance some things get clearer

Give em the space our hearts grow nearer I ran as hard as I could and still ended up here

but it's alright I look at this lifeline stretched way all across my hand

I look at the fires of hatred burning up the bounty of this beautiful land

I know I'm small in a way but I know I'm strong

And it's my thirst that brought me to the water when I give it all up then she carries me on and it's alright

Yeah it's alright

And it's alright though 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 only way

that could have brought me here today and it's alright.
