If It's Alright with You

There’s a theme through the ages
I know every line
But it’s hard to embrace
For it’s hard to define
Give me 99 reasons for changing my mind
And I’ll give another for being so blind
If it’s alright with you, then it’s alright with me
When it’s hard to unravel,
The grass from the gravel
I think it’s time to be moving to the north country
There are places on earth
Where the poets give birth
To the songs of the river
And where it should flow
Would it make any difference
If anyone knew
Where this trail through the jungle
Was taking us to
If it’s alright with you, then it’s alright with me
When it’s hard to unravel,
The grass from the gravel
I think it’s time to be moving to the north country
There are kings in the land
With their heads in the sand
And their hearts in hands
With some rock and roll band
Don’t they all look the same
When you mention their name
As they try not to hear you
When they’re playing their game
If it’s alright with you, then it’s alright with me
When it’s hard to unravel,
The grass from the gravel
I think it’s time to be moving to the north country.
