Everything’s O.K.

All we are is streams of dust from stars
Shining down like a song made up
To comfort a child in the dark.

The Road is long. I watch it lead you away
To people and places and promises there
To chances you’re bound to take.

The sky is blue, the leaves are green
And everything’s O.K.
The sky is blue, the leaves are green
And we’re still here today
And everything, everything,
Everything’s O.K.

Someday you’ll hear the sound
Of someone calling for you
Make a wall out of pillows,
Say don’t be afraid, trust me you’ll know what to do.

Fathers and sons drift apart.
But I remember a time
When you would say “Daddy, make up a song”
And I’d sing this until you closed your eyes.

The sky is blue, the leaves are green
And everything’s O.K.
The sky is blue, the leaves are green
And we’re still here today
And everything, everything,
Everything’s O.K.
