I Hope You're Okay

This song is about a strange lady who has a handicapped live-in boyfriend and is sick of being bound down with the duty of having to constantly take care of a man who was once a sports star and is now a living vegetable. One fine day she meets a little boy who looks distressed in the countryside and makes conversation with him. Although the lady is a talented seamstress who has novel and modern-for-her-time designs, she decides that after helping the boy and his mother stand up to their abusive husband/father (which we will see in the middle of the song), to stay with them in their cottage on a farm. The verses tell the main story of what happens when and after she meets the boy and the chorus bears subtle reference to her boyfriend back home and it seems as if she doesn't care about his well-being, which is on the line (which is pretty much true).

I have come up with the tune and am able to sing the song without any music. I plan on using some kiddie toy instruments and my imagination so I can make a recording of me singing this odd song with the accompaniment of an 'easy-to-play' kiddie keyboard! =). Anyone willing to aid in instrumentals is more than welcome. I unfortunately am not mutated and can therefore not play the violin while singing or even worse, play the saxophone or clarinet while doing so. I very much doubt that such a mutation where there is a resultant two mouths is even possible anyhow.
Anyway, you can read the lyrics and though they may seem pointless and senseless, you must understand that this is me reflecting at one go. I don't think very much when I write lyrics, they just come out in a jumble. I have edited here and there and have tried to make it seem to make sense as much as I could, but at the end of the day, this is what makes me unique. Heh heh.

So here you go!

[RECORDING OF ME SINGING WILL BE UPLOADED SOON, I PROMISE]

I hope you're okay
Lyrics and song: Maya Bhalla

I met a little boy
And to me he said
"You can't get away with that dirt in your head"
And I said to him "How do you know these wise things"
And he said to me, "I have a father who stings"
And I understood these little words
Come from abuse that's so much unheard
So I'm packing my bags
And I'm on my way
I'm sorry to say
I'm leaving you today

I hope you're okay
Either way
I hope you're okay
Either way
I hope you're okay
Either way
I hope you're okay
EITHER WAY!

Nighttime fell and we reached where the boy did dwell
I can tell you that the dark reminded me of hell
So this little boy led me to a cottage up ahead
Hidden by creepers, spanning the flower bed
Up the rickety stairs that led to his porch
I could make out from a distance a man with a torch
"Who've you brought so late this night. Thought she was stalkin' you, gave me a fright.
You little twat, you disobey, I'll give you a beating, make your body sway."
And to that I let him have it, one big blow to his dangly man-bit.
He was swaying like a windblown chime. Collapse he did in the nick of time.
Called the cops, they took him away, boy's mother was crying, such a dismay
Caused a little mess, a bit of distress, but all was good, I created a mood
Soon they forgot and we settled down, had some dinner and I stitched a gown

I hope you're okay
Either way
I hope you're okay
Either way
I hope you're okay
Either way
I hope you're okay
EITHER WAY!

I know that I've left you, I know I'm far away
But it's easier to forget you, which makes it easier to stay
I'm happy here, reminiscing not, with this little boy who's room is like a cot
His daddy's now in jail
And it's me that they hail
His mother and him
Attend to my every whim
It's a pretty little home
They raise pretty little hen
I've decided I'm not leaving
I'll make this my den

I hope you're okay
Either way
I hope you're okay
Either way
I hope you're okay
Either way
I hope you're okay
EITHER WAY!

xx
