That's very easy to say, but not easy to do.

[Luis Flmg]

These are the lyrics to a song I'm writing. How can it be fixed and improved?

YOU’RE O.K.

That's very easy to say, but not easy to do.
But the truth is that you can find out how
you just gotta think it through.
You will move on from your slip-ups
no matter what is in store for us today.
No matter what they tell you
keep in mind that you're O.K.

I could spend all day long dropping all kinds of hints.
You've been around and you do know when to make amends.
I won't be handing it to you on a silver plate -
things don't work that way.
No matter what they tell you
keep in mind that you're O.K.

Everything's all right, everything is in control.
Everything's all right, let the good times roll.
Everything's O.K. and the world will go on turning, anyway.

So I wonder if you got what all of you did.
We do not really know what goes on in the mind of a kid.
And that's why I'd really like to see you again in a few days
I'm not sure if that's what you want
so just keep in mind that you're O.K.

Everything's all right, everything is in under control.

So I wonder if you got what all of you did.

What do you mean by "all of you"?

What do you mean by "all of you"?

This "you" is supposed to refer to a group of students who bullied (in a light way) another student. The other "you's" refer to one of the students, who is talking to a psychologist.

Then you might consider rewording that part. It's ambiguous.

I could do it, but I meant it to be unclear and intriguing. Actually, I wanted the whole lyrics to be unclear. Anyway, I had to make sure it was well written.

You want the whole song to be somewhat of a mystery.
