Woke up to a world that is changing
Looking out the window got me wondering lately
Will we be okay?
Will we be okay? (Yes sir)
One day I can feel the sun shining
Next day a bullet can leave a momma crying
Will she be okay? (Lord have mercy)
Tell me will we be okay? (Truth is…)
Life is taking everything that I have
Just to survive (Can I testify?)
I got 25 dollars in my pocket
And I think another 10 in my glove compartment
I’m trying so bad not to cry but it’s hard to stop it
But you say all of my needs you promised you got it
So I’m gon’ be okay (Yes sir)
I’m gon’ be okay (Sing, okay, okay)
See I gotta remember
That my God is bigger
Than any battle I’ll ever face
So I’m gon’ be okay
(Yeah it’s dark right now
But I still see the light, c’mon)
Why do we hate one another,
When love is the most beautiful color?
It takes away the gray (I hope somebody’s listening)
And makes everything okay
Where is the American dream,
If only one percent knows what it means,
To really be okay? (Are y’all listening?)
Tell me, is that okay? (Say it again)
Life is taking everything that I have
Just to survive (Let me talk to ya)
I got 25 dollars in my pocket
And I think another 10 in my glove compartment
I’m trying so bad not to cry but it’s hard to stop it
But you say all of my needs you promised you got it (Help me)
So I’m gon’ be okay (Even in the midst of trouble, say)
I’m gon’ be okay (Sing, okay, okay)
See I gotta remember
That my God is bigger
Than any battle I’ll ever face
So I’m gon’ be okay
See our God is great
This season of pain, it won’t last always (Hallelujah)
Life is taking everything that I have
Just to survive (Open up your eyes y’all)
You’ve got 25 dollars in your pocket
And you think another 10 in your glove compartment
But that family with no food would trade places with you (Listen)
Give thanks and don’t forget how you got it
And you gon’ be okay (Yeah, can I get a witness)
We gon’ be okay (Sing, okay, okay)
See I gotta remember
That my God is bigger
Than any battle I’ll ever face (C’mon)
So I’m gon’ be okay (If one door closes, God’s got another)
We gon’ be okay (If your doctor’s not the final answer, y’all)
And we gon’ be okay (You needed this storm to wake you up and make it better)
I’m gon be okay (Now sing, okay, okay)
So I’m gon’ be okay (Yes sir)
