It's going to be okay

It’s going to be okay

by Joel Howard

Ever seen a child cry?

That is what I see in your eyes
So frustrated you might die
It’s going to be okay

Need a tissue or a hug?
You look so messy, dear one
Have you forgotten Father’s love?
Things are going to change

Finally! You see my smile
I’ve been waiting for awhile
That frown is going out of style
It’s going to be okay

Now we’re hugging closer
You’re leaning on my shoulder
You’re pouring out your burden
It’s going to be okay

Your racing heart has slowed down
You thought you were going to drown!
Now you lay your fretting down
It’s going to be okay

In the quiet hour
Options have increased from 2 to 4
Extremes have balanced – there you are!
It’s going to be okay

What seemed like life or death has
Given way to second chances
That’s the way a dance is
It’s going to be okay!
It’s going to be okay!
