[ Featuring John Legend ]
'Fore we see the sun, we gotta see the rain
And they say when we stride up and come better than we are
Take a walk with me
Everything around us becomes better too
Keep smiling
Just gotta keep going
We all make it to our destination one day
One day
Everything will be okay
We'll make it through the day
We gone be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay
We gonna be okay, get on your knees and pray we gone be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Everything will be okay
We'll make it through the day
We gone be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay
We gonna be okay, get on your knees and pray we gone be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Uh, we'll be okay if we just stick together
I left you in the past, and it hurt me lookin' at our pics together
I sent a letter tellin' you to keep your head up
Why wasn't I brave enough to face you head up?
I knew you back when you and sister 'nem was playing dress up
That's probably why I'm wishing you the best luck
Remember you told me about your problems that one night in the summer?
Said you at war with your daddy, you at odds with your momma
Ain't had no family support when you was going to college
So you got on drugs, now that'll turn a good girl violent
Said you wanna be away, started pushin' me away
Made our love relocate, yeah
I heard you got a son now, I hope he take the right road
A lot of us get gunned down
I hope I run into him so I can give him the run down
And tell him what I know now
We all lost souls in this ghost town
But everything okay
Everything will be okay
We'll make it through the day
We gon' be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay (we'll be okay if we just)
We gonna be ok, get on your knees and pray we gon' be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay (keep our head up)
Everything will be okay
We'll make it through the day
We gon' be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay (the world get so dark sometimes but)
We gonna be okay
Get on your knees and pray we gone be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay (you shine so bright)
Uh, sometimes you feel like don't nobody love you
But even when you go through hell, you gotta know that heaven right above it
I pray that one day you live a life of luxury
So you can see that money signs ain't everything you need to hug your loved ones
If you got kids, you got to love your little ones
They grow so fast and we only live once
And son, I pray for days that you don't have to have a gun
But I also pray you make it around the sun, so what's done is done
And we got people starving all across the globe
We got money for wars, but we at war at home
But I'm scared to call this house a home, 'cause I don't really own it
Even when I get my credit right, they still won't loan shit
They tell me I need more shit, they tell me all this bullshit
The truth is that I'm still a black man, just a rich black man
So motherf*ck that plan
Back in the trap again, but that' another trap again
Damn
Everything will be okay (and as the world turns)
We'll make it through the day
We gon' be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay
We gonna be ok (I hope you never lose sight at what's right)
Get on your knees and pray we gone be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Everything will be okay
We'll make it through the day
We gon' be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay (I'm always here)
We gonna be ok, get on your knees and pray we gone be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay (whenever you need me)
My head under the water
And my eyes are towards the clouds
Let's take a swim right now
Oh, take me deeper in your ocean
Show me where no one's allowed
But don't let me drown
Everything will be okay
We'll make it through the day
We gon' be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay
We gonna be okay, get on your knees and pray we gon' be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Everything will be okay
We'll make it through the day
We gon' be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay
We gonna be ok, get on your knees and pray we gon' be okay-ay-ay-ay-ay
