Lyrics Be Ok - Naomi Wachira

Be Ok

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 to let somebody who’s never walked in your shoes
Tell you how you to embrace yourself, live your numbered days
Oh the truth is that they will never, never give you breath
Oh the truth is that they will never, 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 you are
Who you are, and the grace and curse we’re meant to bear
Oh 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
And what if your skin is a shade too different
What if your body curves in all kinds of ways
Tell me 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
