Alma Matters
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So
The choice I have made
May seem strange to you
But who asked you, anyway?
It's my life
To wreck
My own way
You see
To someone
Somewhere
Oh yeah
Alma matters in mind
Body and soul
In part and in whole
Because to someone
Somewhere
Oh yeah
Alma matters in mind
Body and soul
In part and in whole
So, the life I have made
May seem wrong to you
But I've never been surer
It's my life
To ruin
My own way
You see
To someone
Somewhere
Oh, yeah
Alma matters in mind
Body and soul
In part and in whole
Because to someone
Somewhere
Oh, yeah
Alma matters in mind
Body and soul
In part and in whole
To someone
Somewhere
Oh, yeah
Alma matters in mind
Body and soul
In part and in whole
So to someone
Somewhere
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
