Are Ya' Doin' Alright? Poem by Atty Davis

I see you tryin'
To make each day a better day
But the world keeps draggin'
You down along the way

Get up Get out
Hit the line
Don't be led astray
Don't let the team down
Though your dreams
Slowly slip away

Are ya' doin' alright?
Are ya' doin' ok?
I couldn't help but notice
You're havin' a really bad day

Well, I ain't nobody
I ain't no one to you
But stranger to stranger
I hold my hand out for you
I hold my hand out for you

Spirit grounded
Wings been cut
You feel so small
Though you are tryin' to stand tall

Well no need to pretend
Nothin' but aces in your deck
Now find your game
Play it the best that you can
Someone will surely be there
Be there to lend you a hand

Are ya' doin' alright?
Are ya' doin' ok?
I couldn't help but notice
You're havin' a really bad day

Well, I ain't nobody
I ain't no one to you

But stranger to stranger
I hold my hand out for you
I hold my hand out for you

So, when your days are done
And it all comes to an end
What will people say
Who will be your friends?

Songs unsung
Hopefully just a few
Don't leave this earth
Feeling wronged and blue
Take it from a stranger
Know this to be true
Smile and the world
Smiles back at you
Smile me and you
Together we will make it through
This stranger and you


Are ya' doin' alright?
Are ya' doin' ok?

I couldn't help but notice
You're havin' a really bad day

Well, I ain't nobody
I ain't nobody
I ain't nobody
I ain't nobody
I ain't no one to you
I still hold my hand out for you
