We'll Be Alright
Finding Light in Shadows: Grace Potter's Anthem of Hope
Lyrics
"Yeah, I'm not recording at all, and we're just practicing"
Setting the context, not recording, just practicing.
"In that case"
Response to the context set in line 1.
When the world's feeling heavy with sorrow
Describing a world burdened with sorrow.
And the day looks as dark as the night
Emphasizing the darkness of the day.
As long as there's gonna be a tomorrow
Optimistic view, acknowledging a future (tomorrow).
We'll be alright, I know we'll be alright
Expressing confidence that everything will be alright.
What kind of war are we living through?
Raising questions about the nature of the current challenges.
My bleedin' heart is needing you
Expressing emotional need and vulnerability.
To rock me like a baby, hold me like a child
Desiring comfort and reassurance, using childlike imagery.
Show me peace of mind for a little while
Seeking moments of tranquility and peace of mind.
Pull me from the shadows, remind me how to smile
Requesting rescue from darkness and a return to happiness.
Remind me
Reiteration of the plea to be reminded of joy.
When the world's feeling heavy with sorrow
Repeating the description of a world filled with sorrow.
And the day looks as dark as the night
Reiterating the contrast between a dark day and the night.
As long as there's gonna be a tomorrow
Confidently asserting that there will be a better tomorrow.
We'll be alright, we'll be alright, we'll be alright
Reaffirming the belief that everything will be alright.
Tell me, who's broken dream am I living in?
Questioning the source of shattered dreams.
I'd walk through fire to wake up again
Willing to endure challenges for a chance at a new beginning.
Rock me like a baby, hold me like a child
Reiteration of the desire for comfort and care.
Show me peace of mind for a little while
Requesting moments of mental peace and relief.
Pull me from the shadows, remind me how to smile
Asking to be rescued from the shadows and brought back to happiness.
Won't you remind me
Repetition of the plea to be reminded of joy.
When the world's feeling heavy with sorrow
Repeating the description of a world burdened with sorrow.
And the day looks as dark as the night
Reiterating the contrast between a dark day and the night.
As long as there's gonna be a tomorrow
Confidently asserting that there will be a better tomorrow.
We'll be alright, we'll be alright, we'll be alright
Reaffirming the belief that everything will be alright.
Yeah, yeah
Expression of agreement or emphasis.
When the world's feeling heavy with sorrow (ooh)
Repeating the description of a world burdened with sorrow with vocal embellishments (ooh).
And the day looks as dark as the night (ooh)
Reiterating the contrast between a dark day and the night with vocal embellishments (ooh).
As long as there's gonna be a tomorrow

We'll be alright, we'll be alright, we'll be alright
