Authors of Forever - Alicia Keys

We are lost and lonely people

And we’re looking for a reason and it’s alright

So let’s celebrate the dreamers

We embrace the space between us, ’cause it’s alright

We’re all in this boat together

And we’re sailing towards the future and it’s alright

We can’t make the whole thing better

We’re the authors of forever and it’s alright

We are born on our own

And we die on our own

And we’re here to make meaning

Of what happens in between

We could hate, we could love

We could doubt, we could trust

But we’re here to make meaning

For as long as we’re breathing and it’s alright

Wherever you are, it’s alright

Whoever you are, it’s alright

If you find love, it feels like it’s the first time

God only knows it will be the last time

If you find love, it feels like it’s the first time

God only knows it will be the last time

Where there’s light

There must be a shadow

Cloudy skies and rain make a rainbow

We are builders

We are breakers

We are givers

We are takers and it’s alright

We are 7 billion stories

And we know the faith and glory and it’s alright

Alright

We are born on our own

And we die on our own

And we’re here to make meaning

Of what happens in between

We could hate, we could love

We could doubt, we could trust

But we’re here to make meaning

For as long as we’re breathing and it’s alright

Wherever you are, it’s alright

Whoever you are, it’s alright

Wherever you are, it’s alright, alright

If you find love, it feels like it’s the first time

God only knows it will be the last time

If you find love, it feels like it’s the first time

God only knows
