I'm alright, Mom.

[Electric guitar intro] [Verse 1] He packed his bags and left at dawn, A young man on his own, With dreams of gold and city lights, He set out all alone. (all alone) His mother cried, "Be safe, my boy," He smiled and said, "I will," But deep inside, his heart was torn, He felt a sudden chill. [Chorus] He called his mom and said, "I'm fine, The city's treating me right," But in the shadows, he hides his pain, Through every sleepless night. He told himself, "I won't give in, I'll fight until I win," Get rich or die tryin', he vowed, No matter how hard it's been. [Build up instrument] [Guitar solo] [Drum solo] [Verse 2] The city streets were cold and harsh, The nights were long and tough, He worked three jobs, from dawn to dusk, But still, it wasn't enough. He missed the warmth of his old home, The love he left behind, But every call, he forced a smile, And said, "Mom, I'm doing fine." [Bridge] One day, he'll stand on top, With dreams all realized, But for now, he battles on, With fire in his eyes. He won't let his mother see, The tears that he has cried, He'll keep on pushing through, With hope and wounded pride. [Outro] Someday, he'll return back home, With stories to unfold, A young man who faced the storm, And turned his dreams to gold. But until that day arrives, He'll keep his secret fight, For his mother's peace of mind, He'll keep saying, "Mom, I'm alright." I'm alright, I'm alright, I AM ALRIGHT!
