Flyleaf – Okay

"Okay" as written by Sameer Bhattacharya, James Culpepper, Jared Hartmann, Kirkpatrick Seals and Lacey Nicole Sturm....
I won't be satisfied with okay
And I can't be okay with alright
So point me to the edge of life
I'll stand up on my toes
Stretch my fingers out to there and bring it back here

It's too important for us to forget
We'll unify our thoughts
God will hear and save
God will hear and save us

All together standing up on our toes
Reaching for a freedom they don't know
So catch it as it pours
We know what we need
Don't get tired when you're running back to show them

It's too important for us to forget
We'll unify our thoughts
God will hear and save
God will hear and save us

    General CommentLacey almost sounds like shes about to cry as she sings this, its a very emotional performance. I think it may be about a fear of end, either end of life or a relationship, ect, scared to take the leap because you're not sure of the other side.

    General CommentWoah, nobody's commented on this Song yet?! I really like this song, even though the only version I can find is the one she does live. I think its about humanity, and about all of us having faith in what we do, and what we believe in.

    General CommentThis song is about a girl named Tina that Lacey met and the girl said that she wanted to live happily ever after and have kids but instead,This girl married a guy who abused her and beat her so she tried to kill herself and as she was feeling the pain she said "God if your real please take my pain away" and at the moment she went into acoma and came out alive and thats when Lacey talked to her.

    Lacey explained this song when she performed it live.

    General Commenti think this song is about reaching out for god and when we join together to pray and find him god will be there in the midst of us just like it says in the bible where there are 2 or more gathered in my name i will be among them. and she says just dont get tired when youre running to tell the rest she means dont give up when you find god, keep going and tell the rest of the world about him because they need to hear and its our job to save them
