Lyrics
[verse]
Some days the weight sits heavy on my chest
Some nights I lay awake and cannot rest
Bills on the table, phone ringing off the hook
Trying to stay steady but my hands still shook
I called my sister up just to hear her voice
She said breathe through it, girl, you still got a choice
Told me every storm cloud eventually clears
Told me don't be scared to cry out all them tears
So I let it out, let the pressure release
Found a little corner of a hard-won peace
Ain't got it figured out, ain't got all the answers
But I'm still standing here despite the cold advances
[chorus]
It's alright to fall down and rise again
It's alright to bend but never break within
It's alright when the tears fall like the rain
It's alright, we gon' get through the pain
It's alright, take my hand, we walk it slow
It's alright, there's a light past the shadow
[verse]
Momma always told me keep the faith alive
Even when the numbers on the clock don't add up right
Kept a little candle burning in the dark
Kept a little hope tucked close beside my heart
Watched my friends go through it, held them when they cried
Told them ain't no shame in feeling low inside
We all carry something heavy on the back
Don't gotta pretend that everything's on track
Real strength is admitting when you need a hand
Real strength is getting up and making a new stand
This a song for anybody feeling out of place
It gets better, one day, one step, one pace
[chorus]
It's alright to fall down and rise again
It's alright to bend but never break within
It's alright when the tears fall like the rain
It's alright, we gon' get through the pain
It's alright, take my hand, we walk it slow
It's alright, there's a light past the shadow
[bridge]
Breathe in slow, let the worry drift away
Better mornings coming after this hard day
You ain't alone, we all walk through the storm
Hold on tight, girl, it's alright, stay warm
[chorus]
It's alright to fall down and rise again
It's alright to bend but never break within
It's alright when the tears fall like the rain
It's alright, we gon' get through the pain
It's alright, take my hand, we walk it slow
It's alright, there's a light past the shadow
