Lyrics: It’s Alright
Album: Shaming Of The Sun
Artist: Indigo Girls
 

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
