This song was created for someone who has spent a lifetime pouring love into others, often at the quiet expense of their own heart. It captures the tender courage it takes to finally turn that same warmth inward — to choose rest, grace, and healing without guilt. A gentle reminder that self-care is not selfishness, but the very place where a new chapter begins.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Always the last one in the line Giving my all, saying "I'm fine" Carrying love that no one sees Bending like branches in the breeze And somewhere in this quiet space I'm searching for a little grace [Chorus] It's okay to take care of me Let the walls come down, let my spirit breathe Hope is a light I can finally hold Peace like a river, gentle and gold I'm learning to stand, I'm learning to be It's okay, Terri, to finally be free [Verse 2] I love them all, that much is true The youngest heart, so tender too But loneliness has been my song A sad kind of quiet all along Now I remember what they said That taking care of me's not selfish, no [Chorus] It's okay to take care of me Let the walls come down, let my spirit breathe Hope is a light I can finally hold Peace like a river, gentle and gold I'm learning to stand, I'm learning to be It's okay, Terri, to finally be free [Bridge] Afraid to trust, afraid to fall But grace is bigger than the wall Terri, your worth was never small [Verse 3] So I'll lay this heavy weight aside Let a new tomorrow be my guide Still full of love, but softer now I'll keep my promise, I'll learn how To pour a little back inside And walk with peace, and walk with pride [Chorus] It's okay to take care of me Let the walls come down, let my spirit breathe Hope is a light I can finally hold Peace like a river, gentle and gold I'm learning to stand, I'm learning to be It's okay, Terri, to finally be free [Outro] It's okay to take care of me That's where the healing starts to be
