Always ok

It’s All Gonna Be Okay

(a ballad)

Verse 1

I laid down in a quiet room,

heart still learning how to breathe.

Watched my fear begin to loosen,

like autumn leaves that chose to leave.

I saw my parents in the doorway,

said I’m sorry, and they stayed.

They were only doing their best,

and I was finally unafraid.

Chorus

It’s all gonna be okay,

it’s always been that way.

Through every storm and sleepless day,

something soft has stayed.

I can feel the ground again,

hear my own heart say—

it’s all, it’s all,

it’s all gonna be okay.

Verse 2

All the moments I was chasing,

they were never out of reach.

I was standing in the water,

trying hard to find the beach.

The mountain isn’t calling

for a man without his scars,

it’s the climb that makes you holy,

not the place among the stars.

Chorus

It’s all gonna be okay,

it’s always been that way.

Through every loss I thought would stay,

something bright remains.

I can feel the ground again,

hear my own heart say—

it’s all, it’s all,

it’s all gonna be okay.

Bridge

I’m not fixing what was broken,

I’m just learning how to see—

that even pain can open

a quiet peace in me.

Final Chorus

It’s all gonna be okay,

maybe that’s the prayer I pray.

Not to rise above the pain,

but to love it all the same.

I can feel the ground again,

hear my soul say—

it’s all, it’s all,

it’s all gonna be okay.
