Ally

Thought that my pride was on the mend before it shattered

I'd like to think that I'd fix it on my own, but that's the matter

'Cause I'd go and throw it all away to save my ego

And the empty prize is I get to be alone

So what do I know?

But when I lose the way

You keep me aiming true

There's nothing out of view

(Jump on through over to you!)

You're my ally-alli, I will take you in so gladly

Though the road's been long and winding, I'm so proud to call you family

You're my ally, olly oxen free to take you with me

I'm just making up the hours, how I needed you so badly

Thought I could make it on my own, not even nearly

But I'm scared to say that there ain't no other way

(But now I see it all so clearly)

I am no island, I'm a piece of something bigger

And I work the best when your sweet heart gets to rest next to my bitter

(Oh it's so much better this way)

So we keep our hands held tight

And shoot toward the moon

You might catch a glimpse or two

(Break right through over to you!)

You're my ally-alli, I will take you in so gladly

Though the road's been long and winding, I'm so proud to call you family

You're my ally, olly oxen free to take you with me

I'm just making up the hours, how I needed you so badly

You're my ally-alli, I will take you in so gladly

I've been hopelessly awaiting what was always right beside me

You're my ally, alleyway between the peaks and valleys

I'm just making up the hours, how I needed you so badly

(Jump on through over to you!)

Keep my head held high

Green and red so bright, illuminate the night

(Break right through over to you!)

You're my ally-alli, I will take you in so gladly

I've been waiting all this time to say I needed you so badly

You're my ally, olly oxen free to take you with me

So it's true, there's nothing left to do

(Jump on through over to you!)

You're my ally-alli, I will take you in so gladly
