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
