Its alright forty days of rain
My skin stretched out from the growing pain
Itd be nice to have an explanation
But its alright

And its alright if you hate that way
Hate me cause Im different
You hate me cause Im gay
Truth of the matter come around one day
Its 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 dont understand
Thats while Im still on a search
Through the weather strewn church
Im doing the best that I can
And its alright

And its alright though we worry and fuss
(alright)
We cant get over the hump or get over us
(we cant get over us)
It seems easier to push than to let go and trust
(alright)
But its 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 its 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 Im small in a way but I know Im strong
And its my thirst that brought me to the water
Well I give it all up then she carries me on
Its alright

Yeah

And its alright if I feel afraid
My plans in pieces
My plans mislaid
Its the will of the way
(the will of the way)
The will of the way
(its the will of the way)
The will of the only way that could have brought me here today
And its alright

And its alright
