Lyrics

Afraid

Know that the world is turning
And we're running to keep up with the pace
The body and heart's still learning
There are problems I know I still have to face

The world is turning, ever-changing
Every turn keeps hope alive
No matter what tomorrow brings
We can't hold back the hands of time
Too many days I've been afraid
Too many nights when alone I laid
Human and full of frailty
But the world is mine and belongs to me

I'm not afraid

Know that the sky is broken
And my shoulders can hardly take the weight
The spirit and soul still open
To believe there is something more than fate

The world is turning, ever-changing
Every turn keeps hope alive
No matter what tomorrow brings
We can't hold back the hands of time
Too many days I've been afraid
Too many nights when alone I laid
Human and full of frailty
But the world is mine and belongs to me

So be brave and face
The world is not a dark and hopeless place
And in time, your heart will heal
'Cause I have the strength, I hold the key
And the world is mine and belongs to me

The world is turning, ever-changing
Every turn keeps hope alive
No matter what tomorrow brings
We can't hold back the hands of time
Too many days I've been afraid
Too many nights when alone I laid
Human and full of frailty
But the world is mine and belongs to me

I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
Afraid
