Alright by Me

Verse 1

Sunday school teacher drew a clover on the board

Three leaves one plant he swore

I squinted hard and tried to nod

Math was never really my strong suite God

Father Son and Holy Ghost

Three in one that's what I'm told

My brain just gives a gentle shrug

And says oh well and gives a hug

Pre-Chorus

One plus one plus one

Should make three

But heaven's algebra

Escapes me

Chorus

I don't get the Trinity

But alright alright by me

Three persons one divine

Won't solve it so I'll just smile

I don't get the Trinity

But that's fine fine fine with me

Some mysteries are meant to be

Beyond my little human mind

Verse 2

Water ice and steam I've heard

A lonely metaphor for words

Still can't picture how it stands

Three and one with clapping hands

Maybe it's like a Sunday roast

Three parts but one thing close

I'll eat my fill and say amen

And never figure it again

Pre-Chorus

One plus one plus one

Should make three

But heaven's algebra

Escapes me

Chorus

I don't get the Trinity

But alright alright by me

Three persons one divine

Won't solve it so I'll just smile

I don't get the Trinity

But that's fine fine fine with me

Some mysteries are meant to be

Beyond my little human mind

Bridge

Maybe someday I'll understand

When I shake a nail-scarred hand

Till that day I'll hum along

To a mystery turned song

Chorus

I don't get the Trinity

But alright alright by me

Three persons one divine

Won't solve it so I'll just smile

I don't get the Trinity

But that's fine fine fine with me

Some mysteries are meant to be

Beyond my little human mind
