[Verse 1]
There's a theme through the ages, I know every line
But it's hard to embrace, for it's hard to define
Give me ninety-nine reasons for changing my mind
And I'll give you another for being so blind

[Chorus]
If it's alright with you
Then it's alright with me
When it's hard to unravel the grass from the gravel
It's time to be moving to the north country

[Verse 2]
There are spaces on earth where the poets give birth (Poets give birth)
To the songs of the river and where it should float
Would it make any difference if anyone knew
Where this trail through the jungle was taking us to

[Chorus]
If it's alright with you
Then it's alright with me
When it's hard to unravel the grass from the gravel
It's time to be moving to the north country

[Verse 3]
There are kings in the land with their heads in the sand (Heads in the sand)
And their hearts in the hands of rock and roll bands
They all look the same when you mention their name
As they try not to hear you when they're playing their games
[Chorus]
If it's alright with him
Then it's alright with me
When it's hard to unravel the grass from the gravel
It's time to be moving to the north country
