Lyrics

There’s an alter at my bedside table.
A lot that’s there try to keep me stable.
You asked me to be fine.
Since then I’ve been trying.
Holding out on crying.
Trying.

People told her she was getting loud.
That little one learned soon to quiet down.
You asked her to be fine.
And since then she’s been trying.
Holding out on crying.
Trying.

Choose your lane and stay or you will lose.
A lot of people fighting for something to prove.
You asked him to be fine.
And since then he’s been trying.
Holding out on crying.
He’s trying.
He’s trying.
He’s trying.

Stop just for a moment.
Think Just for a moment.
Picture this whole world for a minute
And imagine no one was alone in it.
People together holding it
Together just for one more minute.

What gives you the right?
To ask them to be quiet?
Insist that they be fine…
You’re not even trying
Who’s freedom your denying
You’re not even trying.
You think it’s terrifying.
You’re not even trying.
