Could have been a simple task figuring this life out
Could have been done research in so many other ways
Could have chosen a couple of different questions to ask
Spared myself the never ending stories
But then again I wouldn't have come across
Those who taught me about loss
And about not wasting time fearing the \"what ifs\"
And so I wouldn't have come to terms
With my paranoia for being stood up, for letting
Down and not reaching the point of what is

Does this sound like something I've said before?
Is this somehow familiar to you?
Going down the road just to find more beginnings around the bend
More stories to go through

Alright
Getting rid of old-time anger now
And it feels like
I am alright
Alright
Putting things back into place
And now it does feel like
I am alright

Would have been a big mistake to stop before I started
Would have been the silky smooth but oh so unhappy way
Now would have fit right into being
The beauty without a beast
What is safe if there is nothing to be safe from?
Is it protection from something which is created from within?
Hide and seek will at some point end with game over
And so it's better to come to terms
With the fact that you might not win
That you might lose
But to whom and with whom are you playing?

Does this sound like something I've said before?
Is this somehow familiar to you?
Stories do not disappear just because they are recognized
Or admitted true

Alright
Getting rid of old-time anger now
And it feels like
I am alright
Alright
Putting things back into place
And now it does feel like
I am alright

Alright
Getting rid of old-time anger now
And it feels like
I am alright
Alright
Putting things back into place
And now it does feel like
I am alright
I am alright
I am alright
