I have been listening to several different versions of this the last few days. Very emotional and inspirational. Someone please relate to this.

    The original does not touch my soul... Ed's rendition does (of course, like most covers)

    It's a very reassuring song.

    It's Ok.... everything is gonna be ok..

    (chorus)
    It's okay, we've all seen better days
    It's okay, you don't have
    to run and hide away
    It's okay
    It's okay, yeah we love you anyway

    For in those reckless moments
    When doubt is creeping in your head
    Feeling like you've lost your youth
    And the dreams you had are cold and dead
    I can't reach you anymore
    That's gonna take a different man
    I can't protect you like before
    You've slipped beyond my hands
    But it's okay.......

    I wish that I could light the path
    That leads to a life of no mistakes
    Hold you from the damned be done
    That living out of safety seems to take
    I remember still the child in you
    As if only yesterday
    It was easy to break through
    I only had to kiss the pain
    But it's okay.......

    This is my chance, this is my life
    And my opening hour
    This is my choice, this is my voice
    There may be no tomorrow
    This is my plea, this is my need
    This is my time for standing free
    This is my step, this is my depth
    In a world demanding of me
    But is's okay.......

    One of the tags/songs that really don't give me much! I don't get all the hype about it. I'd rather hear the Wrong Child tag again!

    as much as I love this cannot believe there are 2 threads about it on page one at the moment! :?
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    Thanks D!! LOVE this...I remember almost losing my mind at PJ20 with the first strum of Stone's guitar as they morphed into "It's OK" Hearing that crowd sing with the band was spine-chilling!!

    Cheers,
    Seen the Best Rock Band on the Planet a few times here and there.

    I think we can all relate to this one! Definitely one of my go-to songs (tags?) when I need a little musical pep-talk :) I'm positive it's helped a lot of us through various situations! Love this song, would be a joy to hear it live and sing along!

    This is ironic. I have watched so many versions of this on you tube this whole week. The one from Jones Beach and PJ20 in particular. I don't know why but it is just hitting home with me every time.

    I totally relate. I've said it before (see link below), but I think that the It's Ok tag from Jones Beach in 2000 is, and this is no exaggeration, my favorite piece of music by any band, ever.
