Dedicated to punch

“Punch (You’ll Be Alright)” – Final Version

Verse 1

He was rejected by his own mother

They called him Punch, just a baby undercover

Left alone, though born in a crowd

Silent pain, though the world was loud

Given a toy to cope with his trauma

He held it close like it was his mama

He broke the internet, hearts in tears

Strangers wishing love could reach his years

Chorus

Punch, you’re gonna be okay

You’re gonna be alright

Just hang in there, baby

You’ll make it through the night

We’re glad you’ve got your teddy

So hold him nice and tight

Verse 2

This was a monkey… but what about you?

Did life ever leave you hurting too?

Did you have someone or something to hold?

Or were your nights just lonely and cold?

Did you stay awake, crying in the dark?

Counting sheep just to quiet your heart?

Did you feel like it wouldn’t get better?

Like the pain would last forever?

Chorus

You’re gonna be alright

Just hang in there, baby

You’ll make it through the night

We’re glad you’ve got your teddy

So hold him nice and tight

Bridge

Just like Punch, it won’t last forever

Storms pass, and you’ll find better

Even when it feels too much to bear

There’s still love somewhere out there

Punch, we’re glad you’re doing better now

With other monkeys, you learned how

To trust again, to laugh and play

To finally see some brighter days

That same strength lives in you too

You’ll make it out, you’ll pull right through

You are loved—don’t ever forget

Your story’s not over yet

Final Chorus

You’re gonna be alright

Just hang in there, baby

You’ll make it through the night

We’re glad you’ve got your teddy

So hold him nice and tight
