Your future seems uncertain
The trust you knew is gone
Your only cause companion is your fear
Although your heart is broken
God wants you to go on
He'll bring you into victory, my dear

It's OK to cry tonight
I know you feel that you're the only one
That has ever faced this problem
It's OK to cry tonight
But you won't have to cry forever
Tomorrow's light will usher in your joy

Unbearable, the pressure
Unspeakable, the shame
I know you'd fly away from here if you could
But don't become discouraged
In every life there will be rain
God will work it all together for your good

It's OK to cry tonight
I know you feel that you're the only one
That has ever faced this problem
It's OK to cry tonight
But you won't have to cry forever
Tomorrow's light will usher in your joy, yeah
Count it all joy
In the midst of this trying situation, yeah
Be patient and stand, my child
You won't be forsaken, no
Weeping may endure tonight
But your joy will come in the morning
Be strong, this won't last long
(You can be strong, oh...)
Stay in the fight

It's OK to cry tonight
But you won't have to cry forever
Soon, you're gonna be able
To dry your weeping eyes
Dry your weeping eyes
It's OK to cry tonight
You won't have to cry forever
Tomorrow's light will usher in your joy

It's OK to cry tonight
Go on and get it out of your system
You can cry tonight
'Cause you know that your joy
Is comin' in the mornin'
It's OK to cry, yes, oh, yes
You can wipe your weeping eyes
It's OK to cry
