Buddha Lyrics by Macy Gray

Ruby

2018

[Verse 1]
If it's what you feel, my advice is that you show it
So baby cry, if you hide, how will I know it?
And I pray every night that my dreams come true
Will I finally be happy if they do?
Hurry, hurry up, my days are numbered

[Verse 2]
This is what I feel when I stand in the sun
And I think of all the bad that I've done
And I'm looking ahead, and I'm looking back
And I realize it's where I'm at
Hurry, hurry up, my days are numbered, yeah

[Chorus]
But I'm alright now
(I'm alright, I am, I'm alright)
Yes I'm alright now
(I'm alright, I am, I'm alright)
Yeah our future is in the air, and the past is in the ground
But I'm alright now
(I'm alright, I am, I'm alright)

[Verse 3]
It's what you know, it's what you don't, you watch the news
And very soon you're amazed and confused
So you put on your cape to save the world
But it's a big and a cold and a shady world
Hurry, hurry up, our days are numbered, yeah

[Chorus]
Yeah we're alright now
(We're alright, we are, we're alright)
Yes we're alright now (Hey)
(We're alright, we are, we're alright)
Yeah our future is in the air, and the past is in the ground
Yeah we're alright now (We are all alright now)
(We're alright, we are, we're alright)

[Bridge]
We're alright, we are, we're alright
We're alright, we are, we're alright

[Verse 4]
It's what I know, it's what I mean, what I'm tryna say is
Is thank God that I'm free, and it's a new day
All of these things have control of me
And I can't guarantee what's in store for me
So take your time, 'cause I'm alright, right now, hey

[Chorus]
Yeah we're alright now (All of us, yes all of us)
(We're alright, we are, we're alright)
Yes we're alright now (Right, aye)
(We're alright, we are, we're alright)
Yeah our future is in the air, and the past is in the ground
(We're alright, we are, we're alright)
Yeah we're alright now (Yeah we're alright now)
(We're alright, we are, we're alright)
