We're All Right

Mary-Chapin Carpenter

5

Let's go down to the fields tonight

Where the grass grows round our knees

Lay down in the silver light

Dripping through the trees

Broken halo in my hands

And distance in your eyes

The past is gone, good luck, so long

Cross ourselves and hope to fly

No roadmaps, no signposts

No north star, no lifeboats

No cavalry coming in sight

But we're all right

Let's feel small in the world tonight

Beneath a giant sky

Forget for once who is wrong or right

Just let it all go by

Close our eyes when we grow tired

And dream of where we'll be

When night gives way to another day

Have we ever woken up this free

I never had a talisman, I never wore a charm

But it's not too late to believe that fate

Was always keeping us from harm

No roadmap, no signposts

No north star, no lifeboats

No miracles coming in sight

No voices to guide us, no angels beside us

No shaman, no mystical light

No omens, no compass, no seer, no prophet

No cavalry coming in sight

But we're all right

We're all right

We're all right

We're all right
