[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
And it's alright though we worry and fuss
We can't get over the hump or get over us
It seems easier to push than to let go and trust
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
I look at the fires of hatred
Burning up the bounty of this beautiful land
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
Well, I give it all up then she carries me on
It's alright
[Bridge]
Yeah

[Outro]
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
And it's alright
And it's alright
