Story Behind The Song
We're communicationists at heart, and believe the majority of the problems in the world are a massive malfunction in the communication model. Echo Movement knows it's trendy to be melodramatically critical of the government; We'll Be OK is not our way of participating in this trend. It's just our perspective when we watch CNN and see fumble after fumble.

Lyrics
The founding fathers forged a freedom
We call it home
(Our way)
They cut all the ties and put on an island stone
Lazarus' poem
(Our way)
Remember the days when our credit was deep
Before we were lions dressed like sheep
We give them a topic, they turn it around
They give us a sermon on a burial mound
Hey, what'd he say?
What'd he done?
Hey, we'll be ok
What dreams may come
I wake up this morning, feel the sun reach down
It warms my face
(My way)
Outside I breathe the air and the feeling, the freedom enlightens me
(My way)
I dream of a day when no mother will tear
Communication leaves nothing to fear
Religious zealots will have no say
The sun will come 'round, so feel no way
(chorus)
