Not Today (And That’s Okay)

Lyrics

Title: “Not Today (And That’s Okay)” Verse 1 Headlines bleeding on a broken screen, Markets shaking like a tambourine, Sirens singing down my avenue, Another “once-in-a-lifetime” breaking news. Talking heads in a hurricane, Pointing fingers in the acid rain, World on fire in 4K view— But the sky’s still wide and blue. Pre-Chorus Yeah the map’s all red and the wires are crossed, Everybody’s yelling what we’ve all just lost, But my feet are steady on this ground I found— There’s a quiet when the walls fall down. Chorus Everything’s burning, cities in smoke, Bridges are cracking, promises broke, Timeline screaming like it’s the end— But I’m breathing in, breathing out again. Yeah it’s falling apart, yeah the alarms all play, But my vibe don’t shake, it just floats away. I know it’ll turn, just not today— And that’s okay. Yeah… that’s okay. Verse 2 Borders tightening, tempers flare, Truth gets twisted in the public square, Every scroll another spark, Little fires in the dark. Storm clouds stacking on the coast, Everybody arguing who to blame the most, But I’ve seen seasons lose their leaves— Still the roots hold underneath. Pre-Chorus Let the pundits fight and the markets dive, I don’t need the chaos to feel alive, There’s a rhythm underneath the fear— And it’s humming soft and clear. Chorus Everything’s burning, sirens and flames, Old foundations shifting their names, World feels heavy as a loaded sky— Still I’m watching it roll on by. Yeah it’s falling apart, headlines sway, But my peace won’t pack and run away. I know it’ll turn, just not today— And that’s okay. That’s okay. Bridge Ash in the air but I’m planting seeds, Calm in my chest while the ticker bleeds, History bends like it always has, Nothing this loud ever truly lasts. Empires rise and empires fade, Fear makes noise but hope’s handmade, I don’t deny what’s going wrong— I just don’t let it own my song. Breakdown Let it rain, let it roar, Let the cracks run through the floor, I’ve got peace I can’t explain— Like sunshine in a hurricane. Final Chorus Yeah it’s burning down, yeah it’s all ablaze, Tomorrow’s hidden in the haze, Not pretending that it’s fine— Just protecting this heart of mine. It’ll change, it always does, Even if it’s not because of us, Maybe healing’s slow to show— Still I trust the undertow. Everything’s shifting, that’s the way— It’s not better yet… not today. But I’m at peace in the smoke and gray. And that’s okay.
