Be Ok - 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 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
