[Intro]
[whispered vocals] It’s okay
It’s okay to feel
[spoken] Sing it with me now!
[Verse 1]
Some days
Wake up and wanna cry
Shoes on
But you don’t know why
Tears fall
On your cereal bowl
Quiet
But your heart feels full
[Pre-Chorus]
You can say
“I’m sad today”
You can say
“I’m not okay”
Take a breath
Count one-two-three
Tell someone what you feel inside
[Chorus]
It’s okay to feel
Feel
Feel
Every color
Every tear is real
You don’t have to hide your heart away
Talk it out
Let your words all play
It’s okay to feel
Feel
Feel
You’re not broken
You can heal
Hold my hand when the day feels bad
It’s okay
It’s okay to feel sad
[Verse 2]
Little hands
Holding in big storms
Fake smile
Trying to look strong
Look up
Find a caring face
“Can we talk
In a quiet place?”
[Pre-Chorus]
You can tell your teacher
“Can we talk?”
Walk together
Slow small walk
Call the grown-up that you trust
When it’s heavy
Share that weight with us
[Chorus]
It’s okay to feel
Feel
Feel
Every color
Every tear is real
You don’t have to hide your heart away
Talk it out
Let your words all play
It’s okay to feel
Feel
Feel
You’re not broken
You can heal
Hold my hand when the day feels bad
It’s okay
It’s okay to feel sad
[Bridge]
[kids’ choir
Soft] Parents
Listen
When we call your name
We need hugs
More than any game
Put your phone down
Look into our eyes
“Tell me everything”
Best words in our lives
[Bridge]
Teachers
Helpers
Standing by the door
When we’re quiet
Maybe we need more
Ask us gently
“Hey
How are you today?”
Stay and listen
Don’t just walk away
[Chorus]
It’s okay to feel
Feel
Feel
Every color
Every tear is real
You don’t have to hide your heart away
Talk it out
Let your words all play
It’s okay to feel
Feel
Feel
You’re not broken
You can heal
Hold my hand when the day feels bad
It’s okay
It’s okay to feel sad
[Outro]
[call and response]
It’s okay to feel
(kids: It’s okay!)
It’s okay to cry
(kids: Sometimes!)
When we talk it out together
We get stronger
You and I
