It's Alright

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 --- It's Alright - Indigo Girls
