From the recording I'll Be Okay
Lyrics
written by Caitlin Cusack
There’s a battle raging in the streets but it’s nothing like the war inside my mind
The victories and losses inside me, the casualties pile up
This season has been the hardest yet but the good and the bad news is this:
everything comes to an end.
CHORUS
I’m gonna be okay
I’ll be okay
Everything, everything, everything will be fine
Cuz I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
Not everything, everything, everything will go right
But I’ll be okay
Mirror on the wall look into my eyes
they tell no lies, as hard as they try
They are love, they are pain, they are whole, they are shattered
Strength embodied by force
As gales of wind threatened to break my limbs
Now I need a magic mirror to my soul to remind myself who I am
CHORUS
BRIDGE
It’s time to reconstruct the city,
no longer wallow in the ruins
of the battle grounds within my mind
Left behind inside
The memories in my mind
They repeat and repeat and repeat
BRIDGE MANTRA
The well traveled walking paths of memories that repeat in my mind
must not become paved roads
It’s time to forge a new path
Find the strength inside
Leave the battle behind
CHORUS
