Maternity Ward Lyrics

Sitting in my bedroom
With my keyboard guitar
Writing pretty songs about renaming the stars
I don't like to stay in,
I'm easily bored
I go and tell the newborns in the maternity ward:

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
(Go home and tell your parents)
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
I hope

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
(Right now we're tired and we're emotional, but it's gonna be alright)
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
I promise

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
