lyrics version 1
Time is a moving window
Love is an open door
There’s no need to beg on the street
And you don’t have to sleep on the floor
Do you know what I'm trying to tell you
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
If it feels good why not do it
But don't forget to blame someone else
Always look out for number one
These are slogans on the walls of hell
I'm just trying to tell you something
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
Oh yea-eh
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
Ah ha ah ah ah-ah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yea-ah
La la la la la la
I wanna do one more verse, so go into a verse
One two three [Spoken]
I'd like to feed you from a golden platter
At the table of love and peace
Time and space don't really matter
Unless your soul has lost it's lease
You might hate everything I'm saying
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
Instrumental [Spoken]
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la
It’s alright, it’s alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
It’s alright, it’s alright
Love is an open door
There’s no need to beg on the street
And you don’t have to sleep on the floor
Do you know what I'm trying to tell you
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
If it feels good why not do it
But don't forget to blame someone else
Always look out for number one
These are slogans on the walls of hell
I'm just trying to tell you something
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
Oh yea-eh
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
Ah ha ah ah ah-ah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yea-ah

lyrics version 2
Time is a moving window
Love is an open door
You don't need to beg on the street
There's no reason to sleep on the floor
Do you know what I'm trying to tell ya
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easy to see
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
I'd like to feed you from a golden platter
At the table of love and peace
Time and space doesn't really matter
Unless your soul has lost its lease
You might hate everything I'm saying
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
If it feels good why not do it
Don't forget to blame someone else
Always look out for number one
These are slogans on the walls of hell
I'm just trying to tell you something
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easy to see
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean (love is strong)
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
(It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright)
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easy to see
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
And love is strong [x3]
Love is an open door
You don't need to beg on the street
There's no reason to sleep on the floor
Do you know what I'm trying to tell ya
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easy to see
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
I'd like to feed you from a golden platter
At the table of love and peace
Time and space doesn't really matter
Unless your soul has lost its lease
You might hate everything I'm saying
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
If it feels good why not do it
Don't forget to blame someone else
Always look out for number one
These are slogans on the walls of hell
I'm just trying to tell you something
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easy to see
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean (love is strong)
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
(It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright)
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easy to see
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
And love is strong [x3]
