Be Alright - Lauren Sanderson

We gon' be alright, we gon' be alright

We gon' be alright, we gon' be alright

You know, I haven’t always been this optimistic

and up till now, there’s nothing in this life I’ve lost and missed it

I know it all happens for reasons that I never listen

and I’ve just learned to be okay with shit and then dismiss it

I type, type, then delete every time

I wanna tell my story but I wanna tell it right

You know I carry scars, wanna leave 'em all behind

But it’s time to bust it open and go back to every time

Every time I said «This is the ending»

No more pretending, I’m done depending

Say sorry to loved ones, this heart just ain’t mending

But this shit ain’t over, it’s just the beginning

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We gon' be alright, we gon' be alright

We gon' be alright, we gon' be alright

You say you got it but you really don’t

You say you will, but Lord knows you really won’t

You say you wonder what it’s like to feel the happiness

Wake up every morning, and not want to go back to bed

I know a lost soul when I see it

I know you lost hope, I can read you girl, I hear it

I know you hear my words, they carry memories, I feel it

I know you hate the past, but let me take you back

To every time you said «This is the ending»

No more pretending, you’re done depending

Say sorry to loved ones, your heart just ain’t mended

This shit ain’t over, it’s just the beginning

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We gon' be alright, we gon' be alright

We gon' be alright, we gon' be alright

I look into my soul, I look at my reflection

And looking out at you, I look at my impression

I’m lookin' at my life, I’m lookin' at my blessings

I’m lookin' at my past, lookin' at my lessons

I’m lookin' at compassion, lookin' at aggression

When I look at the world, I look for my direction

I’m letting go of scars, letting go of tension

Moving on from mistakes, and calling 'em confessions

You know, like, life’s just too short to be literally anything but happy

I know sometimes it seems hard, but, it’s never over

Just follow your fucking heart

This is the center of expression

Thank you
