In My Room

In my room, where I sit, I can hear all the neighbors When they cry, they can shake down the walls Then their hearts overflow, joyful noise all around us And we rise, like the blue in the sky Here in my room, I hear the sound, Of time getting slower, like the lines around my mouth It's alright, it's alright From the start, ever heart, looks for wide open spaces Where no man ever planted his flag Righteous pride, satisfied, saw the sky for the taking Said, This is mine. It's all mine. Here in my room, I hear the sound Of it all starting over, the circle turning round It's alright, it's alright. Everything is strange, but somebody loves you Nothing ever changes, the echo in the mine breaks the body every time There's refuge in the outrage, the dark couldn't break you Stolen breath, bluest death, surely God blessed the bloodshed And this man doesn't matter at all In the end, we pretend, that our kindness is courage And we're alright, we're alright Here in my room, I hear the sound Of it all starting over, the circle turning round It's alright, it's alright
