It's Ok to Be Sad

It's ok to be sad

It's alright to be lonely

You won't always feel bad

Somebody told me

These feelings like weather

They come and they go

Today I felt better

Tomorrow who knows

Could there be healing instead

Instead of breaking, I'm hoping

That the cracks beginning to spread

Is me breaking open

And if I let everything in

The shadows as well as the light

How else could I know I'm alright?

How else would I know?

It's ok to be tired

**** all the excuses

Whatever's required

There's no day that's useless

What's hollow and empty

What's lost and undone

What can and what can't be

Is how you become

Could there be beauty instead

Instead of breaking you're hoping

That the cracks beginning to spread

Is the way you break open

And if you let everything in

The shadows as well as the light

How else could you know you're alright?

How else would you know?

Could there be healing instead

Instead of breaking, we're hoping

That the cracks beginning to spread

Is the way we break open

Could there be loving instead

Instead of breaking, we're hoping

That the cracks beginning to spread

Is the way we break open

And when we let everything in

The shadows as well as the light

That's how we know we're alright

That's how we know
