OK
1TYM feat. Perry & Lexy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey yesterday is the day you died, could it be you just stopped feeling alive?
Trouble's on your shoulders for so long, you'll be stronger when the moment's gone
You're looking for a better day, the darkest hour finds the brightest grace
So today, I know you'll come to realize
Come to realize that

Hey, everything is gonna be okay, may God kiss your weary face
Everything is gonna alright, let peace be yours tonight

Rest and know you're saved, don't be afraid, oh
Everything is gonna be okay
Be okay

I see the storm clouds in your eyes, don't be afraid to taste the tears you cry
Ring the good out of the bad, there's an awful lot of beauty in that
You're looking for a hand to hold, you gotta stumble to stand up on your own, oh
My fingertips within your grip
Reach a little further and

Hey, everything is gonna be okay, may God kiss your weary face
Everything is gonna alright, let peace be yours tonight
Rest and know you're saved, don't be afraid, oh
Everything is gonna be okay

Mercy speaks in disguise, a voice too rough to recognize
Brings you back to life and

Hey, everything is gonna be okay, may God kiss your weary face
Everything is gonna alright, let peace be yours tonight
Rest and know you're saved, don't be afraid, oh
Everything is gonna be okay
Be okay

Everything, is gonna be okay
I said reach a little further, reach a little further and say
Everything, is gonna be okay
So come on back to life, it's gonna be alright

It's be okay, it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay
You'll see a brighter day, it's gonna be okay

It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay
You'll see a brighter day, yeah
