lyrics

I turned my head, I closed my eyes. I couldn't see another good thing die. I went below and looked for light. I never knew the dark could be so bright. And I heard...

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright to come out and show your face around here. And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright to come out and come alive around here.

I thought I'd left the past behind. But it could run me down every time. It held me close just like a lover, it held my hand just like a mother. Then another said...

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright to come out and show your face around here. And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright to come out and come alive around here.

I know, I know it wasn't there...the hope you needed in that deep despair, but you'll feel it slowly surging through to find you. Everything I held tightly somehow still just flew away. Can't you hear it now...

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright to come out and show your face around here. And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright to come out and come alive around here.

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright to come out and show your face around here. And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright to come out and come alive around here.

Heat from the Day
by Ben Kreader

It's a family thing...my brother is also a singer-songwriter, but has an eclectic sound all his own (more art-pop, but also lyric-driven). You won't regret checking it out! Ellie Zwart
