Lyrics
IF? (I?m All Right)
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.
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
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.
