All Right Here

by Sara Groves

It's every loss and every love
It's every blessing from above
Here I am, all added up
It's all right here

It's what I know and what I'm guessing
It's half-truths and full confessions
It's why I choose to learn my lesson
It's all right here

And I'm not God, I'm a man, I confess
That I don't have a sea of forgetfulness
No, it's all right here

It makes me stronger, it makes me wince
It makes me think twice when I pick my friends
It's all right here

It's caution and curiousity
And it's all the things I never see
Welling up inside of me
It's all right here

It's what is best, and what is worse
It's how I see the universe
It's in every line and every verse
It's all right here

Every heart has so much history
It's my favorite place to start
Sit down a while and share your narrative with me
I'm not afraid of who you are

I'm all here, and you're all there
Some of this is unique, and some of it we share
Add it up and start from there
It's all right here

It's caution and curiousity
And it's all the things I never see
It's all right here

It's what is best and what is worse
It's how I see the universe
I'm all right here
