    i saw my world crashing down around my head- war & terrorism & the unknowable future. if things fall apart, i want to be holding the man i love in my arms... and we'll be alright.

    Story Behind the Song
    part of a ten-song set recorded live at a friend's apartment.

    the issues in this war have not been black and white. there are few innocents, and they are the individuals that suffer most.

    i felt helpless. without a voice. helpless.

    i realized that the only power i have is love. it is beautiful and mysterious and stronger than fear, hate, and violence. even if the world falls down around me, i choose love.

    Lyrics
    turn down the tv, shut off the light
    i’m gonna love you a thousand ways tonight
    put out your cigarette, forget the radio
    i’m gonna teach you everything about beauty i know

    the world may fall apart- but we’re alright

    you arms and hands against the tanks and planes
    can’t conquer a heart where love remains
    i’ll take your lips and smile, your skin & teeth & tongue
    they can keep the pain & fear & guns

    the world may fall apart- but we’re alright
    the world may fall
    we might lose it all- but we’re alright
    we’re alright
