Verse 1
D 
Another song that was first released on our
1992 independent
album, Star- Studded- Super- Step.
Definitely a concert favorite
because of it's funk
vibe and catchy, though simple,

The chorus, on the other hand,

simply says "It's alright".
D 
.. which would seem to point to a
spiritual laziness,
Dm 
but I don't believe that
is the case.
D 
The truth is, in the same breath
that the Lord is showing
us the error of our ways,
He is also comforting us
and showing us abundant
love.
