about

Dedicated to psychotherapist Pete Walker, whose amazing book, "From Surviving to Thriving" has helped so many people overcome trauma, JACKIE is a conversation with the inner child who needs to know they're safe now. Special thanks to "The Doctor" Rob Best whose piano performance perfectly enhances the minimalist trio / vocal arrangement.

lyrics

JACKIE - lyrics by Elyce and Benjamin Russell

It's OK, it's alright, Jackie
Everything's fine
You didn't do anything wrong
This time - Jackie

You have come so far
It's just a flashback
Not a setback
And you still know who you are
Don't forget that - Jackie

Don't cry, you're safe here
You know that
Remember you're strong
You know you can be who you are
You belong - Jackie

You have grown inside
At your centre
You remember
You have learned to survive
You don't forget that

Jackie - give yourself a good talking to
Your inner child is counting on you
Talk to yourself, be a good friend
Your inner child needs to know this will end

It's Ok, it's alright - Jackie
It's Ok, it's alright - Jackie

And you've got this
Just focus
It's ghosts you don't need to defend

It's Ok, it's alright - Jackie
It's Ok, it's alright - Jackie
It's Ok, it's alright - Jackie
It's Ok, it's alright - Jackie
It's Ok, it's alright - Jackie
