Indigo Girls - it's alright lyrics

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,

Hate me cause I'm gay

Truth of the matter come around one day

So it's alright

I look at this lifeline

Stretched way all across my hand

I look at the burned out empty line

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 that to let go and trust

But it's alright

When we get a little distance some things get clearer

Give em the space our hearts grow nearer

I ran as hard as I could and still ended up here

But it's alright

I look at this lifeline

Stretched wayy 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

When I give it all up then she carries me on

And it's alright

Yeah it's alright

And it's alright though 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
