Heavy is the mind that's filled with worry
Paralyzed by sad news on TV
All i get from sleep are these strange and apocalyptic dreams
How do i make them leave?
I muster all my strength and look out the window
No children on the sidewalks and no cars on the streets
Isn't it ironic, this used to be a holiday scene
But now we're under siege
Is it okay if i close my eyes
Is is okay if take my time
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
Heavy is the heart that's filled with memories
The happy, tragic, and mundane in-betweens
Joni was right when she sang
"You don't know what you got still it's gone"
Oh it's all gone
So is it okay if i close my eyes
Is it okay if i take my time
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
We won't be the same
I'm forever changed
I cannot unsee
What's in front of me
We won't be the same
I'm forever changed
I cannot unsee
What's in front of me
Oh it's all in front of me
Is it okay if i close my eyes
Is it okay if i take my time
Is it okay if i close my eyes
Is it okay if i take my time
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
Heavy is the soul that's gone to war
With questions of who's really in control
So, i plead, i plead myself to fight to see that this
Is where i'm supposed to be right now
It's Okay
