The Piano Guys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to turn it down, but I can't quite drown it out
I'm tortured everyday, these never ending worries, pulling on my sleeves
So many times now I was supposed to tap out
All the walls would fall down around me
All anybody would tell me, is all that bad news how it's gonna fall through
But no matter what they say or what they say,
It's gonna be, gonna be, okay (a a a ay)
No matter what you've been through here you are
No matter if you think you're falling apart
It's gonna be, okay
And there is a battle raging in your heart but you must win
It comes for all of us, saying we are not enough
So fight for your life the worlds gonna try
To sell you some lies
So many times now I was supposed to tap out
All the walls would fall down around me
All anybody would tell me, is all that bad news how it's gonna fall through
But no matter what they say or what they say,
It's gonna be, gonna be, okay (a a a ay)
It's gonna be, gonna be, okay (a a a ay)
No matter what you've been through here you are
No matter if you think you're falling apart
It's gonna be, gonna be, okay (a a a ay)
It's gonna be, okay
It's gonna be, gonna be, okay (a a a ay)
It's gonna be, gonna be, okay (a a a ay)
No matter what you've been through here you are
No matter if you think you're falling apart
It's gonna be, gonna be, okay (a a a ay)
It's gonna be, okay
Woah, woah, woah (it's gonna be, gonna be)
Woah, woah, woah (it's gonna be, okay)
Woah, woah, woah (it's gonna be, gonna be)
Woah, woah, woah (it's gonna be, okay)

This song embodies my foundational principal for living my life. No mater what or who you believe in, keep fighting, and never let what they say keep YOU from being YOURSELF! I believe it's going to be OKAY!
I have had many medical and self induced trials in my short life so far. I believe if I had given in to self pity, I wouldnt be here today. Through my family, my patient wife, Karen, my old friends, my new friends, and my friends in passing I have a wonderful life and no matter what gets thrown my way, I KNOW through all of you, IT'S GONNA BE OKAY!
If you are ever feeling that life is falling apart, call me and I will help you get okay. I may not be able to fix it but I can tell you without a doubt, it's gonna be OKAY!
Thank you all who have been there for me, with me, and have prayed incessantly on my behalf! I truly love each and everyone of you. My heart my not be the purest but I would like to think it is big and open and here for you when you need it.

Hi there, person reading this comment :)
this comment is for everyone in the comment section who is having doubts about life.. Religious or not, i still wish to share this message.
To whoever is struggling out there with me, feeling the same burden of life weighing your lust for life down, let me share something with you.
You are alive now. That's enough in this moment of despair, or this moment where you feel like life doesn't seem worth it. You are alive now, and that shows how far you have come. You have come here, to listen to this song, probably not without a reason.. Whether you believe in God or not, let me tell you this; You're still alive. You came here, to listen to this beautiful song.. Give yourself a gentle pat on the back for simply staying here, because there are times when this can't be easy, and yet you are still with us.. It shows that you are a fighter. God may or may not heal your wounds, but time will eventually heal you..
Give it time..
Stay with us, even if it might seem hopeless..
If it's not okay, then it is not the end.
I hope this message helps.. But i have one more thing to say to the people who might still be thinking of leaving this world..
This world might not be as beautiful as some might want, but we still live. Every single one of us is here for a reason, whether it is small or big, it can make a change. You're here for a purpose, it might just be as simple as offering the shop owner a smile and saying 'good day' to them, or maybe asking if the older woman needs help looking for the right location, or perhaps even helping a kid reach for something up on one of the higher shelves in the supermarket.. Simple deeds of kindness can make a difference in someone's day, or maybe even their lives..
You, you reading this comment, i wish you a lovely day.. It might not seem as much, and maybe it isn't, but i just want you to know that you are not alone.
Much love,
Izzy
