Ayla Nereo – It's Okay lyrics

Ohhh...
It's okay to be private
It's okay to cry
It's okay to hold back
Or hold things inside

It's okay to scream
To release them
To be seen
It's okay to be seen
It's okay to be seen
It's okay to receive

It's okay to notice
To stop and to stare
Cause the beauty
It blinds you
And holds you right there

It's okay to listen
One ear to the ground
One ear to the sky
Tree, street, or heart that you pound

It's okay to giggle
A little to yourself
Cause the spirit
It tickles as it enters a sound

It's okay to sing it
In fact it's encouraged
Don't matter how soft, well-fitted
Or tender, or out or in key
As long as you mean it
As long as you mean it
You're giving permission
You're giving permission
For others to sing it
You're giving permission
For others to sing

And all things for that matter
Go as deep as you feel like
The deeper you mean it
The more the stars can hear it
The deeper you mean it
The more healing can happen

The earth's heart opens
Connects to your own
Beating song like swimming
Flying in space
Floating like grace
Alone and together
One and yet still
An instant, an impulse
Individual
Tone, beat, sound
Singing, soft singing...

It's okay to pray
To be deep
To be light
To just breathe

It's okay to be
Exactly as you are yourself
