I'll be alright
Matthew Hendrickson
A gentle
acoustic-style song that tells that story and feels like a warm goodbye rather than a sad one

Paroles
Verse 1
When I was just a little boy, afraid of every night,
Shadows on the bedroom wall, fading out the light.
But Mama held my trembling hands, Dad stood by my side,
They showed me love is stronger than the dark I had inside.
Pre-Chorus
Every fear I ever had
Was met with open arms,
And somehow I kept learning
I was always safe from harm.
Chorus
So if you’re hearing this and missing me tonight,
Just know I’m wrapped in peace and I’m doing alright.
Every tear you cry for me, I see it turn to light—
I’m still loving you from heaven,
And I’ll be alright.
Verse 2
I grew up and found a new fear, standing face to face,
A nervous heart, a first hello, a smile I couldn’t place.
But love walked right up to me in your beautiful eyes,
And suddenly the lonely nights were something from the past.
Pre-Chorus
From awkward words and shaky hands
To promises so true,
I found my forever when
I found my life with you.
Chorus
So if you’re hearing this and missing me tonight,
Just know I’m wrapped in peace and I’m doing alright.
Every memory we made still shines so bright—
I’m still loving you from heaven,
And I’ll be alright.
Verse 3
Then came the fear of being strong when I didn’t know how,
Holding tiny miracles, so scared I’d let them down.
But you came into my world and turned my dark to day,
You were the brightest light I’d ever known along my way.
Pre-Chorus
Every laugh, every tear,
Every scraped and broken knee,
You showed me what it means
To love unconditionally.
Chorus
So if you’re hearing this and missing me tonight,
Just know I’m wrapped in peace and I’m doing alright.
My heart still beats in yours, it’s tied so tight—
I’m still loving you from heaven,
And I’ll be alright.
Verse 4
I was scared to let you go and watch you chase your dreams,
To find your own tomorrows, your own hopes and means.
But seeing who you’ve all become has filled me up with pride,
You’re the greatest part of me I get to leave behind.
Pre-Chorus
You don’t need me holding on,
You were born to fly—
And I’ll be cheering for you
From the other side.
Chorus
So if you’re hearing this and missing me tonight,
Just know I’m wrapped in peace and I’m doing alright.
Every step you take is still in my sight—
I’m still loving you from heaven,
And I’ll be alright.
Bridge
Now the last fear I ever felt
Was letting this life go,
But Jesus called my name
And told me I was home.
No more pain, no more tears,
No more lonely nights—
Just endless love and a perfect light.
Final Chorus
So don’t you be afraid when you say goodbye,
This isn’t the end, it’s just a different sky.
I’m safe in His arms, and I feel alive—
I’m still loving you from heaven,
And I’ll be alright.
Outro
So live your lives, and laugh, and love, and hold each other tight,
Until we meet again someday…
I’ll be waiting in the light.
When I was just a little boy, afraid of every night,
Shadows on the bedroom wall, fading out the light.
