"Okay" - NPR Tiny Desk Contest Entry

Thank you to NPR and the judges for your time. Hope you're well. The Album: https://linktr.ee/brynnacc 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
