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
