It's Alright (For Lazarus)
by Peter Furler Band

Album: Sun and Shield

It's alright
The echo of the veil torn
Is louder than your sisters' mourn
And the spirit's wind...
It blows across the last divide
A ferry back to our side
The bitter and the sweet collide
And now everything's changed
So it's alright
You can open your eyes now
And through the shroud
Hear my voice
Over the crowd
This is not for you
But if you knew
All it will signify
You'd know why
I cry
I cry
Breathe in
Hear your heart beat again
Feel the rags fall away
Touch your skin
I know you didn't ask for this
It doesn't even feel like home
But now that you're completely
known
Lift up your head
It's alright
You can open your eyes now
And through the shroud
Hear my voice
Over the crowd
This is not for you
But if you knew
All it will signify
You'd know why
I cry
I cry
And when it's time to leave again
You'll be more than ready to
'Cause this time when you leave, my
friend
I'll be there to welcome you
