Pinned during my last year in graduate school, the content of "Alright With Me" came quickly! This was my first shot at being my own adult and I loved the feeling! It's a song that celebrates self-esteem and embracing one's spiritual process.
Lyrics
Verse: I used to be the one who always tried my best to please. I used to push myself to execute so perfectly. Trying hard to reach the standards of society, being influenced by an insecure mentality.
Pre-Chorus: And I won’t do it anymore (more) ‘cause there’s something in me greater yeah. It’s my time, it’s my moment. My life (and my purpose) and I’m alright with me.
Chorus: When I wake up, look in the mirror I realize that I’m (alright with me.) When I go to my job, my school, my church, you know I’m (alright with me.) And it (took me a while to get here) to the place where I value who I am. (I’m not perfect) but I’m learning everyday so I’m (alright with me.)
Verse 2: Nowadays, I’m really realizing who I am. It’s still a journey, but I’m connected to I AM. I AM says I can climb the highest mountain, I AM will never leave me, no! I am His child so there’s no need for doubting, so please don’t be offended when…
Pre-Chorus: And I won’t do it anymore (more) ‘cause there’s something in me greater yeah. It’s my time, it’s my moment. My life (and my purpose) and I’m alright with me.
Chorus: When I wake up, look in the mirror I realize that I’m (alright with me.) When I go to my job, my school, my church, you know I’m (alright with me.) And it (took me a while to get here) to the place where I value who I am. (I’m not perfect) but I’m learning everyday so I’m (alright with me.)
Vamp: Alright, Alright with me (repeat) BGV: Oh, It’s Alright, It’s alright with me!
