Lord, It's Okay
Lord hear me say
that I think it's okay
if things don't work out
in the usual way
I know where I'm going
and I love yesterday
and though it stands sadly
like a sad cabaret
a new day is waiting
for a fresh new bouquet
a scent gently sweeter
than a love-worn sachet
and though this farewell
is to my dismay
the tears have to wait
Lord, no tears today.
Lord hear me say
that I think it's okay
if loving is lost
like the rain down the drain
a tattered ballerina
with a broken plié
or the fiercest knight
who has lost his touché
all that we live for
is dragging away
but hold back the tears
they'll be no tears today.
Lord hear me say
that I think it's okay
if hearts fall in pieces
and pain comes to stay
I knew we were sewing
the seeds of our shame
and all along knowing
the wisdom we've gained
but through the illusions
one fact will remain
please stifle my tears
they'll be no tears today.
Lord hear me say
that I think it's okay
if confusion set's in
and changes my way
your path is my road
the one expressway
my shoes they are dusty
and I've nothing to pay
my heart it is shattered
like the paper maché
those tears swelling strongly
and my soul is a flame
but Lord, how I trust you
I believe what you say
so hold back these tears
they'll be no tears today.
