Afraid

[Intro: Nelly Furtado]

Uh

What they say? What they say? What they say?

What they say? What they say? What they say?

[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado]

You speak out, all you feel is defiance

All you need is some self-reliance

'Cause this world is gonna always try us

And all you wanted was to run for cover

Well, here's looking to yourself and no other

We're all searching for that special something

And we keep on running

[Pre-Chorus: Nelly Furtado]

We all have the choice to take the lead or follow

I want to feel the light shine on me

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay 'cause you're only human

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay, you'll soon get strong enough

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay 'cause you're only human

You're so afraid of what people might say

You're going to break, so please, don't do it

[Verse 2: Nelly Furtado]

You wanna spread your wings but you're not sure

Don't wanna leave your comforts, wanna find a cure

We're afraid of who we see in the mirror

We wanna let go but it feels too pure

Who wants to be alone in this world?

You look around and all you see is hurt

But the light, it always finds us

If we move with a little trust

[Pre-Chorus: Nelly Furtado]

We all have the choice to take the lead or follow

I want to feel the light shine on me

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay 'cause you're only human

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay, you'll soon get strong enough

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay 'cause you're only human

You're so afraid of what people might say

You're going to break, so please, don't do it

[Verse 3: Attitude]

A diamond don't define what shine is

I don't need a Rolex to know what the time is

You got yours, let me find what mines is

I'm a survivor, look how strong my mind is

I stand on my own, it's all me

Regardless of whatever they call me

I'm a leader not a follower

And I'd rather be paid than popular

Grind homie, get your dollars up

We're in the belly of the beast that already swallowed us

[Bridge: Nelly Furtado]

It's the end of the world and we know it all

It's the end of the world

And we know it

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay 'cause you're only human

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay, you'll soon get strong enough

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay 'cause you're only human

You're so afraid of what people might say

You're going to break, so please, don't do it

[Outro: Nelly Furtado & Choir]

So afraid of what people might say (That's okay)

So afraid of what people might say (That's okay)

So afraid of what people might say (That's okay, that's okay)

So afraid of what people might say (That's okay)

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay 'cause you're only human

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay, you'll soon get strong enough

You're so afraid of what people might say

But that's okay 'cause you're only human

You're so afraid of what people might say

You're going to break, so please, don't do it
