It'll Be All Right

by Lola Parks

/

about

A minimalist acoustic Indie Folk track along the lines of Anaïs Mitchell, Tracy Chapman and Laura Marling…

Based on Billie Holiday's struggles and strife as a female and a person of colour with sexism, racism and addiction, and speaking to today's opioid overdose crisis and skyrocketing youth suicide rates,

"It'll Be All Right" is about the tragedy of early loss of life, whether overdose, suicide or natural causes. Amid the chaos, there is awareness, slow change and optimism for the future: It'll be all right.

lyrics

I remember how you looked that night
Standing in the rain by the road
You know, I’m just a sucker
For hearing you laugh
And I can still see your grin stretch across the sky
We thought we’d live forever

I can still hear you laughing like it was yesterday

It’ll be all right, it’ll be okay
Gonna hold on tight anyway
Gonna get it right, it’ll be tough at first
But it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right

Can’t shake the feeling
Can’t find the meaning
In how abruptly early you were taken
Can’t stop the thinking
Spirit keeps on thinking
Heart’s still beating but it’s been forsaken

I can still hear you laughing like it was yesterday

It’ll be all right, it’ll be okay
Gonna hold on tight anyway
Gonna get it right, it’ll be tough at first
But it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right

I’d give anything – just to have you around
I’d give anything – not to see you go down
I’d give anything – round and round, round and round
I’d give anything, I’d give anything

Why is it the best die young and the most hurt are the most strong?
It just don’t seem right

It’ll be all right, it’ll be okay
Gonna hold on tight anyway
Gonna get it right, it’ll be tough at first
But it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right
It’ll be all right, it’ll be okay
Gonna show ‘em a fight anyway
They may never see the light, it’ll be tough at first
But it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right, it’ll be all right
