"Alright" lyrics

Sits alone at night
Rises with the first light
Another hard day
Of earth and soil
And never known life
Beyond the peat stacks and dirt tracks
Ask him if he dreams
To go and see the world

He said I'm alright
Cause I'm ok with this life
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night
Yeah I'm alright
Cause I'm ok with this life
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night

I've heard there's bars and dance floors
With more drink then you could ask for
I've heard of all night sessions
Where the music is so fine
And I've heard there's pretty women
In satin, silks, and linen
I think about it all from time to time

But I'm alright
Cause I'm ok with this life
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night
Yeah I'm alright
Cause I'm ok with this life
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night

Sitting by his window pane, he's lost within the view
And a distant sense of longing for a life he never knew
A long forgotten notion that returns when he's alone
But a storm sent from the ocean can't breach these walls of stone

Have you ever held the handle
Of a spade against the gravel?
Have you ever felt the comfort
Of your boot against the steel?
Have you ever heard the calling
Of the lapwing in the morning?
I don't need to see a world beyond these fields

Cause I'm alright
Cause I'm ok with this life
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night
Yeah I'm alright
Cause I'm ok with this life
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night
Yeah I'm alright
Cause I'm ok with this life
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night
Yeah, I'm alright
Cause I'm ok with this life
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night
Got my work in the morning
And my shelter from the night
