lyrics

It’s Alright

I said I was lost, somehow blown off course
Far from home without a guiding star
But still it’s alright

I was broke down, so damn confused
Painter of landscapes without a view
But still it’s alright

Then in came the rain, night swallowed the day
Noah’s Ark wouldn’t have helped a thing
But still it’s alright

Then out came the sun, like a heaven-white dove
That sang a song that needed to be sung
She said it’s alright

It’s alright
It’s alright, alright

I was a witness when craziness opened a business
And set up shop on my front lawn
But still it’s alright

Then I trailed behind me, selling itself at a loss
From Philadelphia clear to California
But still it’s alright

I tried to eat or sleep or fuck away
My tendency to let loneliness lay with me
All day and night

I was consumed by a two-dimensional view
Of how I was perceived through the eyes
Of you—and you—and you

But it’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright, alright

I closed my eyes, envisioning what would be
If we transmuted fear into belief
And it was alright

I had visions of Gandhi and Martin Luther King
I finally understood what Jesus was saying
He said, “It’s alright.”

Then all the tortured, bruised and battered souls
Appeared in the clouds as if to let me know
They were alright

Saying in spite of confusion, I in spite of the pain
Our dearly beloved have gathered here today to sing
“It’s alright!”

It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright, alright

It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, alright, alright
Alright
