It's okay to start over

It's okay to start over

It’s okay to start over

It's okay if you get knocked right off your feet 

Every dawn will bring a new day and a new way 

to get up from your defeat

It's okay to start over 

It's okay if the grind has worn you down

I know the Father of beginning and He's willing 

To still make you new somehow

It's okay to start over

Verse 1:

Life has a funny way of turning things around. 

Today you're on top of that mountain

Tomorrow, face down in the ground

I don't really know why it always pours when it rains 

when we're already drowning in the heartache

and in sickness and in pain. 

But for every last one of your reasons

to give up and to give in

There's a hope inside. It will be alright,

If you can find the strength to begin. 

It's okay to start over

Chorus:

It's okay if you get knocked right off your feet 

Every dawn will bring a new day and a new way 

to get up from your defeat

It's okay to start over 

It’s okay if the shadows darken your road

I know the Father of light can still guide the sightless 

And shepherd you back to the fold

It’s okay to start over

Verse 2:

No one wants to go all the way back to square one

The progress you made can feel worthless

After all of the work you’ve done

I don’t really know why the lessons come with a price

But the knowledge can be the foundation

For the future of your life

Now the sands of time slip through your fingers

No matter the path you go

You can’t take it back, but start where you’re at

The ending is not written in stone

Sometimes you have to start over

Chorus:

It's okay if you get knocked right off your feet 

Every dawn will bring a new day and a new way 

to get up from your defeat

It’s okay to start over

It’s okay if you have no strength to stand

I know the Father of the living is forgiving

And He’s reaching for your hand

It’s okay to start over. 

Bridge:

It's hard to let go of the dreams that you've sown

When life tears them from your hand. 

Everything that you touch turns to ashes and dust

And it’s not the way you planned.

I know you gave it your best shot

And you still don't understand, 

But it's okay to start over.

It’s okay to ask forgiveness when you fail.

I know the Father of mercies and comfort

Can still help you to prevail.

Promise me you’ll start over

Promise me you’ll keep looking for the light

When the darkness surrounds you, tries to drown you, 

You will not give up your fight

It’s okay to start over

It's okay if you get knocked right off your feet 

Every dawn with bring a new day and a new way 

to get up from your defeat

It's okay to start over 

It's okay if the grind has worn you down

I know the Father of beginning and He's willing 

To still make you new somehow

It's okay to start over

It's okay to start over
