I Will Not Be Afraid - Batdorf & McLean

I Will Not Be Afraid Lyrics

Because it’s you
Because it’s true
Because you’re far too good to lose
Because you’re here
Because it’s clear
Because your love’s been drowning the fear
I will not be afraid
I will not run away
I will not leave too soon,
and then wish I’d stayed
I will not be afraid
I will not be afraid.
Because I’ve lost
Because it cost
Because my heart’s been double crossed
Because I thirst

to quench the hurt
Because not trying is always worse
I will not be afraid
I will not run away
I’ll work the double shifts
‘till the piper’s paid
I will not be afraid
I will not be afraid
For so long I chose to be
A prisoner of fear
I prolonged the slavery
For too many years (too many years)
For too many years
I will not be afraid
I will not run away
I’ll let those memories of failure fade
The hand that I’ve been delt
I’m gonna’ play
I’ll keep the things I’ve learned
and I will not trade
I will not be afraid
I will not run away
I’ll grow a little stronger every day
I’ll face the music proudly
that I have made
And if you knew me then
You’ll know I’ve changed today
I will not be afraid
I will not be afraid
I will not be afraid
I will not be afraid
I will not be afraid
