I saw the sunrise in the West today
I watched the sky turn to grey
I felt the heat twenty miles away
I shook my head and slowly said,
"It's alright, hey it's alright..."

I kidded myself for years
Thinking that we'd never do it
Cast away those doubts and fears about this final day
All their talk and diplomacy didn't help improve it...

I ran for you as you called my name
You wiped the sweat from my head
Four desperate eyes and the skies in flame
Only two words to be said,
"It's alright, hey it's alright..."

I kidded myself for years
Thinking that we'd never do it
Cast away those doubts and fears about this final day
All their talk and diplomacy?
Well there was nothing to it.
In grief I stare, as the Earth is wasted away...
