lyrics

Ain’t it strange how much can change
In a day or two? Like the day I met you.
And ain’t it strange how long real change can take?
But given what’s at stake we need a breakthrough

I had no choice, you helped me find my voice
So when it comes to you, falling in love was the least I could do.
We have no choice, we’ve gotta find our voices
Lift ‘em up and say: That’s enough. I’m gonna live for you and you, you’re gonna live for me too.

It’s ok if we ain’t perfect
It’s ok if we ain’t got it exactly right
It’s ok, it’ll be worth it
If we come on up holding the light

It’s too late, ain’t no one can save us now
We fell into that river and we’re gonna swim or we’re gonna drown.
It’s too late, there ain’t no one left to call
But if we get out we get out so much stronger than if we never fell in at all and

It’s ok if we ain’t perfect
It’s ok if we ain’t got it exactly right
It’s ok, it’ll be worth it
If we come on up holding the light
