IF… (I’m All Right)/
IF … (We’re All Right)
Extended/Concert/Video Version
VERSE1
IF I opened every window, I could be kissed by the winds;
But I'd be OK with rain clouds, IF they'd wash away my sins.
I could rise up through the skylight, IF I got up off
the floor …
IF I climb the clouds up one by one, I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
IF I'd spoken to the snowfall, IF I'd cried out to the rain -
But instead I drink a potion just to take away my pain.
I saw Jesus on the street, and I watched Him trip and fall -
Three times I helped Him up, then we kissed the "Wailing Wall".
VOCAL BRIDGE
IF I'm selfish, I am wrong.
IF I'm weak and then I'm strong -
I was two, but now I'm one, and -
Without you I come undone.
CHORUS1
IF I can't stand up, IF it's not so clear -
IF I hold you close, IF I keep you near -
I'm all right, I'm all right.
IF I can't stand up, IF it's not so clear -
IF I hold you close, IF I keep you near -
I'm all right, I'm all right - now.
I'm all right, I'm all right … now.
VERSE2
I am everything and everyone - every dream I've ever had;
I want someone who’ll love me IF I'm selfish and I'm bad.
When I look inside my soul, just to see where I've gone wrong -
I hope to make it up to you, IF I should live that long.
IF I trade all my tomorrows, for a single yesterday –
What IF I call up my angels, and they can’t come out
to play?
IF we do the dirty deed; IF you cut me ‘till I bleed -
Oh, I found you, and I want you, and your love's just what I need.
VOCAL BRIDGE
IF I'm selfish, I am wrong.
IF I'm weak and then I'm strong -
I was two, but now I'm one, and -
Without you I come undone.
CHORUS2
IF I can't stand up, IF it's not so clear -
IF I hold you close, IF I keep you near -
I'm all right, I'm all right.
IF I can't stand up, IF it's not so clear -
IF I hold you close, IF I keep you near -
I'm all right, I'm all right - now.
I'm all right, I'm all right … now.
Musical/Vocal Segue
"Today’s another day."
VERSE 3
IF I am like my father – I’m the ‘son’ of all his fears.
IF I am like my mother – I am drowning in her tears.
I used to be a father, and I used to be a son.
I used to be a brother but now I’m the only one.
Without a moment’s notice, there’s a lifetime come
and gone.
Without a map of heaven I don’t know what cloud I’m on.
IF we gather all our daydreams, just like driftwood on a beach –
Can we hold on ‘till tomorrow, like a rope that just won’t reach?
VOCAL BRIDGE
IF I'm selfish, I am wrong.
IF I'm weak and then I'm strong -
I was two, but now I'm one, and -
Without you I come undone.
CHORUS3
IF I can't stand up, IF it's not so clear -
IF I hold you close, IF I keep you near -
We’re all right, We’re all right.
IF I can't stand up, IF it's not so clear -
IF I hold you close, IF I keep you near -
We’re all right, We’re all right - now.
We’re all right, We’re all right … now.
VERSE4
IF we take away the hunger, we turn back the hands
of time.
Like a storm without the thunder, then the lightning doesn’t rhyme.
There’s a potion for the hunger; lots of smoke to
fix the pain.
From the thunder and the lightning, we’ll find shelter from the rain.
Just like a cloud without a lining, love’s not silver every time.
Like the tears that aren’t worth crying, we can turn them into wine.
I can see it in my daughters just like pictures in their eyes –
We’re all yearning for that magic that we hope we can reprise.
VOCAL BRIDGE
IF I'm selfish, I am wrong.
IF I'm weak and then I'm strong -
I was two, but now I'm one, and -
Without you I come undone.
CHORUS4
IF I can't stand up, IF it's not so clear -
IF I hold you close, IF I keep you near -
We’re all right, We’re all right.
IF I can't stand up, IF it's not so clear -
IF I hold you close, IF I keep you near -
We’re all right, We’re all right - now.
We’re all right, We’re all right … now. |
