Everything's Okay (a song for my family)

Everything's Okay


So why do people hate?
It only brings them pain
And I do I just wait
For a reason to complain?
We're all just drifting by
We're all drifting away
So please don't ask me why
I drift the other way

But I'm still trying
But I'm still trying

So why do people die?
It only brings us pain
And why do I still try
To make myself insane?
Well I'm the one who crys
I'm the one who sees
But let's all close our eyes
And let's all make believe

That we're all flying
That we're all flying

Things can't get much worse
Anyway
So I'll guess I'll be the
First to say
Everything's okay

So why are you crying?
So why are you crying?
Everything's okay




[Notes]
When my mother was first diagnosed with breast cancer, she asked me to write her a song. I tried as hard as I could, but I couldn't find the words to say. She died about a month ago. I've become reclusive and angry. I just realized that my brother and sister are going through the same thing I am. This is for my brother, my sister and my dad. But mostly it's for my mom. I'll be playing it at her funeral this Saturday.

I'm sorry for your loss, I really am


Hate doesn't bring pain, rather, pain brings hate.

I really like these lyrics, good job. You can tell that they're very genuine and emotionally driven, yet they still have a good flow. Thats a recipe for success and I hope your performance went well.
