It's Alright Lyrics

Remember how we chased it like shadows
Life was the ocean; we wanted to swim
Looking back now, it's just how the path goes
They tell you it's over; you never begin

We don't give ourselves time - the way that we used to
To watch it all happen, unfolding in sighs
You'd think we were blind, the things we can see through
The things we look past when emboldened inside

CHORUS:
But it's alright now, it's alright
The ghosts of our glories are gray-bearded guides
The sound of our sorrows has stirred us inside
(But) I think maybe I've never felt more alive

I asked you just once if you thought we could be found
You never did tell me; but I think I know now
Whatever ship comes, by dark sea or gray cloud
As long as the well's deep, we make it somehow

CHORUS

I don't know how to make peace or find it
We're most of us stories we're scared to explain
But what if there's sound, somewhere caught behind this
A song we can sing while we're lying awake

CHORUS
