lyrics

Be Ok
Words & Music by Naomi Wachira

Is it possible to let somebody who's never lived in your skin
Tell you how to live, how to feel, how to be yourself
Is it possible let somebody who's never walked in your shoes
Tell you how you embrace yourself, live your numbered days

But the truth is that they will never give you breath
So wrap your arms around yourself and be ok

Is it possible to run away from every need to compare
By raising others up, while pulling ourselves down
Is it possible to finally accept what we are
Who we are, and the grace and curse we're meant to bear

But the truth is that they will never give you breath
So wrap your arms around yourself and be ok

What if you don't look a certain way
What if your skin is a shade too different
What if your body curves in all kinds of ways

But who holds the truth about who you are?

Oh the truth is that they will never give you breath
So wrap your arms around yourself and be ok
