It's alright forty days of rain   The skin stretched our 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, hate me 'cause I'm gay   Truth of the matter come around one day it's alright      I look at this life line 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 why I'm still on a search through the weather strewn church   I'm doing the best that I can and it's alright      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   We get a little distance some things get clearer   Yeah give 'em the space some hearts get nearer   Ran as hard as I could and still ended up here and it's alright      So look at this life line 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 gone way but I know I'm strong   And it's my thirst that brought me to the water   When you give it all up then she carries me on, it's alright, yeah      And it's alright if you feel afraid   Plans in pieces plans mislaid   It's the will of the way, 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
