LYRIC: I’m Alright, We’re OK (April 2025)

It’s not all depression and despair

I like to laugh as much as anyone

Not the wild-eyed cackle of the lost and deranged

But sitcom sofa chuckles

The joy of silly voices

Goofy comedy songs

I sing around the house

To amuse my wife and cat

I like to go on walks to pretty places

see the trees and mountains

Hills and lakes

With my favourite person in the world

That said

It’s not like everyday is perfect

I’m alright

We’re okay

There is so much to be thankful for

Weekends we watch the football

In between too many hours

of professional wrestling and sometimes baseball

My music is misinformation

Showing only my bleakest self

While behind the lyric sheet

contentment reigns

My otherwise wonderful life

Causes me no urgent creative crisis

I tend to write most of my songs when I feel down

That said

It’s not like everyday is perfect

I’m alright

We’re okay

There is so much to be thankful for

That said

It’s not like everyday is perfect

But mostly it’s okay

I read a lot and listen to music

Write my songs and play my bass guitar

Everyday is perfect

I’m alright

We’re okay

There is so much to be thankful for
