It's so good to learn
that right outside your window
There's only friendly fields
and open roads
And you'll sleep better when you think
you've stepped back from the brink
And found some peace inside yourself;
lay down your heavy load
It gets alright
to dream at night
Believe in solid skies
and slate blue earth below
But when you see him, you'll know
It's okay to find
the faith to saunter forward
There's no fear of shadows
spreading where you stand
And you'll breathe easier just knowing
that the worst is all behind you
And the waves that tossed the raft
all night have set you on dry land
It gets okay
to praise the day
Believe in sheltering skies
and stable earth beneath
[slate blue earth]
But hear his breath come
[whistling hotly]
through his teeth
Walk by faith
Tell no one what you've seen
It's so good to learn
that from right here
the view goes on forever
And you'll never want for comfort,
and you'll never be alone
See the sunset turning red,
let all be quiet in your head
And look about,
all the stars are coming out
They shine like steel swords
[you can] Wish me well where I [where you see me] go
But when you see me, [when my change comes] you'll know
