FUN FACT:
An early version of this was penned not long after receiving a guitar in 2009 as a birthday present, making it the first song I had written on guitar.

lyrics

Fine
Dwight Evan Young

They shut the school down last night.
I got a message saying, “Join the fight.”
But I think something is failing,
An ominous derailing,
But Tony and Danielle say it’s all right.

They say we’re gonna be fine.
One more time…
They say we’re gonna be fine.
At least this time.

I caught the next bus back home.
Strangers so close, yet every one alone.
And we don’t know how to feel
When the truth’s not the ideal
And the person on the TV says it’s fine.

He says we’re gonna be fine.
One more time…
He says we’re gonna be fine.
At least this time.

We hide at home until the fight is here,
Peaceful marches met with riot gear.
Hospital bed,
Rubber bullets in the head,
Tear-gassed lungs, trampled,
Left for dead.
And I’ve been kept well out of sight,
I saw no cameras on that night…
But Dan and Tony sent a card
Said soon you’re gonna be all right.

They say I’m gonna be fine.
But not this time…
