“Worry” is a track built for anyone who’s ever felt their thoughts start to spiral. It opens with a simple, honest admission: sometimes the mind runs ahead, imagining everything that could go wrong. That clarity sets the emotional foundation for the song — not dramatic, not catastrophic, just real.

The second section moves into the familiar territory of self‑criticism and doubt. Instead of staying there, the song pivots toward a grounding truth: you don’t have to be perfect to be worthy. That line becomes the emotional anchor, offering a counterweight to the pressure so many listeners carry.

From there, the song introduces a practical coping moment — a hug, a breath, a reminder that the body is safe. The lyric “There’s no crisis. Nothing’s on fire.” reframes anxiety in a way that’s accessible for kids and deeply relatable for adults. It’s a gentle, matter‑of‑fact reset.

The chorus repeats like a reassurance loop: I’m worthy, I’m loved, and I get to make mistakes. The repetition isn’t filler; it’s intentional. It mirrors the way people actually calm themselves down, using steady, predictable language to interrupt spiraling thoughts.

As the song cycles through the refrain again, it reinforces the idea that doing your best is enough. The tone stays grounded and neighborly, never preachy. It’s children’s‑music‑simple in structure but emotionally literate in content, making it easy for families to use as a shared regulation tool.

The final line widens the lens from self‑comfort to community: I’m doing my best, I bet you are too. It closes the song with a sense of solidarity — a reminder that worry is human, effort counts, and nobody has to navigate their feelings alone.

Worry by Protyus A. Gendher

Sometimes I get invasive thoughts 

And my head starts spinning 

I think about everything going wrong 

And can’t imagine winning 

 

I think of all the things that I’ve messed up 

And feel very deeply that I’m not enough 

But I don’t have to be perfect to be worthy 

And I deserve peace in the space I’m hurting 

 

So I give myself a hug and hold myself tight 

I breathe deeply and remind myself that I am alright 

There’s no crisis. Nothing’s on fire. 

My anxiety is just loud, and it’s a known liar. 

 

I’m worthy, I’m loved, and I get to make mistakes 

My imperfection won’t make the Earth quake 

Today will end, and tomorrow too 

I’m doing my best, and that’ll have to do. 

I’m worthy, I’m loved, and I get to make mistakes 

My imperfection won’t make the Earth quake 

Today will end, and tomorrow too 

I’m doing my best, and that’ll have to do. 

I’m worthy, I’m loved, and I get to make mistakes 

My imperfection won’t make the Earth quake 

Today will end, and tomorrow too 

I’m doing my best, and that’ll have to do. 

I’m doing my best, I bet you are too.
