I'll be the best they've ever seen!
I'll make them so dang proud of me
It'll take some work to get where I need to go
But I'll be there before I know!
And it's hard
And I'm tired
But I'll work
To get higher-..!
But it seems I've lost all function in my legs-
Is this normal?
It's fine!
I'm fine!
Am I fine?
I'm sure it's fine!
Am I gonna die?
Ugh-!
I'm a wreck!
I'm in a downward spin
And I don't know
What it feels like to win
But they tell me:
“Just gotta put in the work, you'll be fine!”
And they tell me:
"Everyone falls down, time to time..."
But no matter how hard I try
There's this little voice in my mind
And it tells me every time
That I will not be fine
I'll be the best they've ever seen!
(You'll fall, you'll trip, you'll make a scene.)
It'll take some work to get where I need to go!
(They're better off without you, you know…)
Woah oh-oh-oh...
It's hard
(Too hard.)
I'll work
(Won't work!)
[SPOKEN]
I just gotta keep telling myself that I'll be fine!
[SUNG]
It's fine-
(Not fine!)
I'm fine-
(Not Fine!)
We're fine-
(Not FINE!)
I'm sure it's fine!
(NOT FINE!)
I'm a wreck! I'm in a downward spin!
And I-..
I don't know what it feels like to win!
But they tell me:
“Just gotta put in the work, I'll be fine.”
And they tell me:
“Everyone falls down once or twice.”
And though I try-
And though I reach for the sky
There's this voice that's getting louder in the back of my mind-
Saying: “I'm not fine!”
It's screaming at me, saying:
“I'm NOT FINE!”
I'm a mess
My life's an uphill climb
I get halfway up, but I slip down every time
And I honestly don't ever think I will ever be fine!
Cause my head it keeps screaming, you'll always be behind!
And they tell me it's alright
Everyone takes their own time
But my time is moving backwards-
I don't think I'll get it right!
‘Cause I'm losing my own battles
Cannot find the will or might
‘Cause the little voice that's s'posed to cheer me on
Is the one I have to fight…
It's fine
I'm fine
We're fine
I'm sure it's fine..
I don't think I'll ever be fine..
(All... fine...)

[NEEDLEPAW]
Hey, uh, Alderpaw?
Are you alright?
[ALDERPAW]
Oh! Pfft! Heh!
I'm fine!.. e-heh..
