You're All Right

Liner Notes:
I wrote and recorded this in about 15 minutes - finally had time to share it now.
I saw Corinne's Sunday Skirmish prompt, got in the car, and came up with the words and tune. When I got to my yoga studio/office I recorded it on the phone, tapping on a table for some percussion.
Great prompt! This is indeed what I've been telling myself lately.
Lyrics:
You are a warrior for what’s righteous
You got your dharma to do
You got angels and you got saints
a-watching over you
You’re all right, you’re all right
after the darkness there is light
You’re all right, you’re all right
that’s what I tell myself over and over again
You’re all right, you’re all right
You cannot predict the future
you can’t dwell upon the past
Why waste your precious time a-worrying
You’re 54 now, it all went by so fast
You’re all right …
Sometimes you pray, sometimes you fight

You ARE alright! Great little ditty!
The table percussion has a marching feel which is perfect for your song. Very convincing delivery of the self confident lyric. Extra points for a fine sense of timing.
Awesome! Great little song!
what a great recording of an uplifting slice of life- this is really like a wonderful personal mantra and we're right there with you, table thumping and everything!
54? you're alright... and still younger then me!
Sounds like a song to yourself. I keep seeing an optimistic viewpoint in these skirmish songs and this is no exception. I like your simple demo, too. A beat and a confident vocal and here you go. A good go at the skirmish, for sure.
I like the simplicity. Much more and it would've lost its directness and power.
And what a simple, powerful mantra. I need to remember this for sure.
What a daily affirmation!
