Not Afraid, Pt. 1

Summer winds on sinking sands

A bitter rain upon my hands

Dreading every waking day

Reason came and reason left

The scarlet stain did not forget

What I could not explain away

With no pennies on my eyes

Fear had its ice cold grip upon my life

But I'm not afraid anymore

Yeah, I think I finally opened up the door

No, I'm not afraid anymore

And I'm ready to reach out for something more

Tried and true, black or blue

I used to think, "Man, what's the use?"

When everything turns bad in the end

You play your cards and try to be

Thе changing world you'd like to see

But people will lеt you down, my friend

The sky grew dim, the curtains flew

Then a light came and I saw the truth

And I'm not afraid anymore

Yeah, I think I finally opened up the door

No, I'm not afraid anymore

And I'm ready to reach out for something more

I'm ready to reach out for something more

I'm not afraid of dying

And I'm not afraid of crying

I can't wait to go on living

I'm gonna give it all I got

'Cause the lens of life will linger

Just keep singing for the singer

And the song will never end

I'm gonna take it from the top

'Cause I'm not afraid anymore

And I think I finally opened up the door

No, I'm not afraid anymore

And I'm ready to reach out for something more

No, I'm not afraid anymore

And I think I finally opened up the door

No, I'm not afraid anymore

And I'm ready to reach out for something more
