This is a little song I wrote for my children a few years ago. I’ve been meaning to sit down and record it for some time; finally today I got some time to do so.
Note: I first wrote it as a sort of teaching song, that theoretically my kids could sing to themselves; later I added the revised first verse as me singing to them.
Maybe your inner child would like to hear you sing it to yourself, too. 💜
“It’s Okay to Be Scared” Lyrics
It’s okay to be scared.
It’s okay to be sad.
I love me even
when I’m feeling bad.
No matter what happens,
I’ll take care of myself.
And when I need it,
I’ll reach out for help.
And whenever I’m scared,
I can use my mind
to investigate
what I’m thinking and why
and turn my attention
from “what if” to “what is”—
and notice what things
in this moment are gifts.
It’s okay to be scared.
It’s okay to be sad.
I love you even
when you’re feeling bad.
No matter what happens,
I’ll take care of yourself,
and when you need it,
I’ll be here to help.
