Lyrics
I don’t know if I’m gonna make it
But for now I’ve got another day
I’ve got my thoughts of you to keep me smiling
And my hopes for you to help me pray
It’s been a long, cold, unforgiving winter,
and we’ve been pushed apart.
Maybe it’s a long time coming.
But, that’s not gonna heal a hurting heart
Keep safe
and be ready
Cause when this is over
We’re gonna need to come together
Dream deep and keep steady
Cause when this is over
We’re gonna need to be alright.
Alright, alright.
I don’t know how to measure the distance
Between our worries and our pain,
Between what’s different or the same
Between our nature and our names
I know we’re all just looking for perspective
Counting the scratches on our floors
But when we finally open up this door
Who are we gonna be looking for?
Keep safe
and be ready
Cause when this is over
We’re gonna need to come together
Dream deep and keep steady
Cause when this is over
We’re gonna need to be alright.
Alright, alright.
Alright
All right
We’re gonna need to be
All right
We’re gonna need to be
All right
All Right
All Right
Keep safe
and be ready
Cause when this is over
We’re gonna need to come together
Dream deep and keep steady
Cause when this is over
We’re gonna need to be alright.
Alright, alright.
