"It's Alright" lyrics - INDIGO GIRLS

It's all right forty days of rain
My skin stretched out from the growing pain
It'd be nice to have an explanation
But it's all right

And it's all right 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 all right

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 all right

And it's all right though we worry and fuss
(All right)
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
(All right)
But it's all right

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 all right

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 all right

Yeah

And it's all right 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 all right

And it's all right
