It'll Be Alright

(앨범: Lullabies For Parents, Vol. 1 - 2022)

Don't know what I'm doing; winging it as I go
Flying by the seat of my pants; counting up, so I don't explode
How when I'm so tired, you are so awake
Will I find the strength to teach you
Not to make the same mistakes I have made

Bet you can't believe it, but I was small like you
And I had mom and dad, and I thought the world revolved around me too
They were just doing their best; going off of what they knew
It's hard when you see where they've failed you
And I wonder where I'll fail you

But it'll be alright. It'll be alright
I tell myself. Just like I tell you
It'll be alright and you'll turn out fine
I tell myself. Until I believe it's true

Time and time again, trying to give you all of my love
Trying to make room for your daddy too; hoping that I have enough
Afraid I'm gonna mess up. Sure I'm gonna let you down
How do I teach you all the lessons in life
When I'm still tryin'a figure em out

But it'll be alright. (Everything will be alright)
It'll be alright. (Everything will be just fine.)
That's what I tell myself. (Everything will be alright)
Just like I tell you
It'll be alright (Everything will be alright)
And you'll turn out fine. (Everything will be just fine.)
I tell myself. (Everything will be alright)
Until I believe it's true

Here I go again, screaming at the top of my lungs
Does holding your breath and counting to ten, really work for anyone
On and on I go, always giving into my doubts
Comparing myself to other mothers
Figuring they've figured it out

But it'll be alright. (Everything will be alright)
It'll be alright. (Everything will be just fine.)
That's what I tell myself. (Everything will be alright)
Just like I tell you
It'll be alright (Everything will be alright)
And you'll turn out fine. (Everything will be just fine.)
I tell myself. (Everything will be alright)
Until I believe it's true

Maybe in some ways, showing you my flaws
Will make you kinder to yourself when you see yours
And where I failed, and where I lack
Will you find were for your good when looking back

You ask me so many question
I have questions too
Do you think you can always forgive me?
Can I forgive myself too?
