Summer time,
so full of pride,
comes before the Fall
With your three eyes
open wide,
you're running into walls
Run in circles
Follow tracks
Walk along the fences
You don't care about the facts,
just popular consensus

It's alright
if it's all
wrong
Close your eyes
tonight
and it's all gone

Don't worry
so much about your health
It wont change your condition
I'll keep the truth
to myself
You've got your tradition
They say what doesn't kill you...
only makes you tougher
Oh, What's a sufferer to do?
I guess you've got to suffer

It's all this
It's all that
It will help you
Live or Die
Put on the dog
Let out the cat
No it without the i

It's alright
if it's all
wrong
Close your eyes
tonight
and it's all gone

Drop a penny
in the well
Drop down on your knees
A cube of ice,
for show and tell,
warmed by two degrees
Drop a tree
Raise a book
Bees have left the hive
Inside
Outside
Take a look
and know that
Self survives

It's alright
if it's all
wrong
Close your eyes
tonight
and it's all gone
If you do wake
up to find
that you're crazy...
know
it's only
in your mind

it's alright

Uriah, I love this little song, and I hope you don't mind, but I sort of adopted it and made up a little tune for it. It is very comforting.
