Deniece Williams

There are brighter days ahead
I can feel it in my bones
Yes, I feel it from my head to my toes
And it's so, it's okay

Open up
Embrace the new
It's just waiting there for you
No more looking back or behind
You're wasting time, it's okay

Watch your dreams come true
Prayer will see you through
Don't you tread the waters of your fears
No more tears or doubts
You can work it out
If you turn your thinking around

Just you look ahead
Don't you cry instead
I'm telling you
It's okay
It's okay

Keep your head up towards the sky
It's the only way to fly
There's no problems that's too big or small
You'll conquer them all
It's okay

For every trial makes you strong
Just you keep holding on
And every negative will pass away
With love it won't stay
It's okay

Watch your dreams come true
Prayer will see you through
Don't you tread the waters of your fears
No more tears or doubts
You can work it out

If you turn your thinking around
Push beyond those clouds
Tell yourself out loud
Oh, yes, it's okay
I tell you, it's okay, yeah

Watch your dreams come true
Prayer will see you through
Don't you tread the waters of your fears
No more tears or doubts
You can work it out

If you turn your thinking around
Push beyond those clouds
Tell yourself out loud
Oh, yes, it's okay
Well, I tell you
It's okay, yeah

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Watch your dreams come true
Prayer will see you through
Don't you tread the waters of your fears
No more tears or doubts
You can work it out

If you turn your thinking around
Push beyond those clouds
Tell yourself out loud
Oh, yes, it's okay
Well, I tell you
It's okay, yeah

Tell you
It's okay
I tell you
It's okay
It's okay

Tell you that it's okay
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
'Cause it's okay, whoo...
Tell you that it's okay
Don't you worry, 'cause it's okay
