 it's alright 40 days of rain

skin streched out from the growing pain

it'd be nice to have an explination

but it's alright

 and it's alright if you hate that way

if you hate me 'cause I'm different

if you hate me 'cause I'm gay

the truth of the matter come around one day

and it's alright

 I look at this life line streched

 way all across my hand

 I look at the burned out empty

 like a plague across the land

 and for everything I learned 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 that I can

(stop)

and it's alright

 it's alright though we worry and fuss

we can't get over the hump

can't get over us

seems easier to let go and trust

but it's alright

 when we get a little distant some

things get clearer

give 'em space some hearts grow nearer

I ran as hard as I could

still ended up here

and it's alright

 Well I look at this life line streched

 way all across my hand

 I look at the fires of hatred

burning up the bounty of this

 beautiful land

 and 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

 I give it all up as she carries me on

and it's alright

x2

(finger picking)

 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 only way that could have

brought me here today

(stop)

and it's alright
