It's Gonna Be Okay

It's way too late. My eye lids should be pulled closed, but I'm up. I was just studying for a glamorous economics test tomorrow. I'm so exhausted. Jet lagged, heart torn, distracted, confused, ragged. I'm trying to make it to the weekend. You ever have those days? Those days where you think, "If I can only make it to *insert day here*" . . . you know. But right now, I'm listening to a song "Don't Worry Now" by Britt Nicole. I'm hoping she's okay with me posting her lyrics here. Now for those of you who wonder, I'm not having Dad problems or divorce issues in my family, but it's one of those days where I just need to hear the "Don't worry now," that "It's gonna be okay," that "good [can] come of these feelings that I have." And it will. I know. But I need to hear it sometimes . . .

"Don't Worry Now"
Britt Nicole

Yeah
Seven years old, you heard me cry
I don't wanna say goodbye
To the only man that I love
My daddy and everything he was
I don't think I can live without you
Dad, I know you're breaking in two
With tears running down his face, he says we're gonna make it
We're gonna make it

[CHORUS]
When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don't worry now
Don't worry now
I've been there yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don't worry now
Don't worry now
It's gonna be ok

I've been trying to find a way to understand
When I can't see the picture of God's plan
Why would He let us hurt so bad?
Could anything good come of these feelings that I have?
He loved me more than the sand on beaches
He loved me more than the grass is green
And even though he had to go I always knew his love was part of me

When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don't worry now
Don't worry now
I've been there yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don't worry now
Don't worry now

It's taken so long to let this go
It's taken so long to feel that
You're right here next to me
And I can finally breathe
It's taken so long but now I know
I had to find out on my own
When nothing could convince me
Your love it convinced me
That it's gonna be ok

When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don't worry now
Don't worry now
I've been there yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don't worry now
Don't worry now
It's gonna be
It's gonna be ok
