It's Okay (Still Rising)

It’s okay to be different,

To live your life out loud.

You’re not broken, you’re just honest—

And you’ve never let them down.

It’s okay when you're hurting,

Let the tears come if they must.

Even pain becomes a teacher,

And the lessons build your trust.

So don’t you hide that fire inside—

The one they tried to dim...

You’re still rising, still breathing,

Even when your strength is thin.

You’re still fighting, still healing,

Even when you’re caving in.

You might stumble, you might bend—

But your heart knows how to mend.

It’s okay… yeah, it’s okay…

To begin again.

It’s okay to be fragile,

Doesn’t mean you’re weak.

Even warriors get tired—

Even silence has to speak.

It’s okay to feel darkness,

But don’t let it steal your name.

You’ve got light enough to guide you,

Even when you’re lost in flame.

So let the world keep spinning mad—

You don’t owe it all to them.

You’re still rising, still breathing,

Even when the nights feel long.

You’re still trying, still believing,

Even when it all feels wrong.

You’ve got cracks, but you're not through—

There’s a greater fire in you.

It’s okay… yeah, it’s okay…

To be something new.

[Bridge] (soft build)

Every scar is proof you made it,

Every fall has shaped your soul...

And your journey isn’t over—

There’s more story to unfold...

[Final Chorus] (soaring, full band or orchestral swell)

You’re still rising, still dreaming,

Even with the weight you bear.

You’re still shining, still meaning

Every breath that says “I care.”

You’re not broken, just becoming—

And your heart is always humming:

“It’s okay… yeah, it’s okay…

I’m still here… and on my way.”
