lyrics

Little girl sitting in the back of the class
Drawing horned puffins rolling in the grass
She's got better spatial reasoning than any one of her peers

She wants to ask her classmates what they think about death
And what their favorite turf is, she bets it's baby's breath
But because she's six she can't connect with colleagues over beers

And I wish that I could take away her fears

I'd say
You are all right
I am with you
I'll be right here
While you go through your day

I know things can
Seem so daunting
So look me in the mirror and I'll say
You are okay

She sits there and she fidgets 'til the teacher says to stop
Now she's terrified of disappointing this new classroom cop
And she learns the way her body moves is wrong and must be fixed

No slouching and no doodling, no humming and no noodling
She doesn't want to daydream, her anxiety's quadrupling
The things that make her spirit sing are the things the teacher's nixed

And I wish I could tell her that someday things won't be so strict

You are all right
I am with you
I'll be right here
While you go through your day

I know things can
Seem so daunting
So look me in the mirror and I'll say
You are okay

When she's a little older she'll be lost in introspection
Stuck behind her brain, a mask of perfection
She's the only one who's going through the rules with a fine-toothed comb

She looks like she's listening and she's making all her grades
But secretly she's dodging some emotional grenades
They all say she's so quiet, does she even talk at home?

I wish I could tell her she won't always be alone

You are all right
I am with you
I'll be right here
While you go through your day

I know things can
Seem so daunting
So look me in the mirror and I'll say
You are okay

I know that when she's grown she'll figure out that they were wrong
Her differences aren't failures, they're the things that make her strong
And she'll only attract the people worth her time

But until then it'll be an uphill climb

You are all right
I am with you
I'll be right here
While you go through your day

I know things can
Seem so daunting
So look me in the mirror and I'll say
You are okay
You are okay

You are okay
