about

The album’s producer asked me for a song to bookend the album, a song to give the listeners a reprieve from the turmoil and let them know I was moving on. This song is the best I could manage at that time.

lyrics

I’M OK © DJ Gosper

Just getting by. No direction. Bumbling along day to day
How am I going? All I can say. I’m still here so I guess I’m ok

Got me a dog for company. Oh the things that little dog is teaching me
How am I going? All I can say. I’m still here so I guess I’m ok

I miss my son, miss what I thought was my family
I miss the life I had even though it wasn’t real
I didn’t know that at the time so I thought everything was fine
I’m still here so I must be ok

I thought I might get over it as time went on. Well the crisis is over
but the damn pain lingers on. How am I going? All I can say
I’m still here so I guess I’m ok

You want me to say I’m over it. Well guess what? I’m not
You want me sing about how I’m moving on
Maybe I will when I am in another song
You want all the trauma from go to whoa, gift wrapped in a box
and tied with a bow? Oh what a tidy lie that would be
Oh what a tidy lie that would be, and so far removed from my reality
When I’m still in shock and wondering what hit me
Said I’m still in shock and wondering what hit me
In these 4 walls I now call home, In these 4 walls I’m on my own
In these 4 walls all I can say, I’m still here so I guess I’m OK
