It's ok

Growing up, I was weird
Couldn't fit in anywhere.

I tried so hard but was told I need to change.

They always made me feel like who I am was not okay.

It hurt and left scars, but today I say I'm proud.

I learned the hard way that who I am is quite alright.

It's ok to be different,
Living life in your own way.
You know that nothing is missing,
Knowing God sees us the same.
It's ok to feel the pain,
Even though it leaves a scar.
You know it's worth the gain,
Because the lessons learned go far.

For years, I would hide
Wouldn't talk, wouldn't show
Anything about myself

I kept my eyes shut
To all the things
that would help.
I would fall
I would fail
Thought I couldn't win this war.

Now I know there is a way
Without giving up my life

It's ok to share your heart,
For it keeps you in the light.
Though you can fall apart,
You can never lose the fight.
It's ok to leave the dark,
To face your own fears.
It's no walk in the park,
And you'll shed many tears.


So long as your strength stays,
And you always look ahead.
You'll never lose the way,
And your hope will not go dead.

All these lessons in my life
I learned the hard way.
I had to go through hell
Just to become who I am.

I just hope this song
Can be a beacon for one and all
If you ever feel alone
If you ever feel defeat
Remember these words
Because I'll be right here for you.
