It’s Alright

Suzanne Mondoux · 24 July 2020

It’s alright don’t you know Sticks and stones break my bone But words will never hurt me, so it’s alright Say what you will Do what you must It’s alright

Watch what you say before you fling that first arrow Know where you stand Eventually everything comes back So it’s alright It’s alright right where I am You’re all a flutter in your fear and anger No need to cry out what you mean It’s alright where you are It’s up to you to come out

It’s alright we don’t see eye to eye We can agree to disagree You say potato, I say potatoe It’s alright to be me and you So can we call this whole thing off Raise the white flag and ceasefire It’s alright to lay down your arms and put out your arms I’ll come in for the hug

It’s alright to love instead of hate It’s alright to talk instead of shout, we still hear you It’s alright to say who you are It’s alright when you’re not accepted for who you are You decide that it’s alright to be who you are
