Walk Unafraid Lyrics
As the sun comes up
As the moon goes down
These heavy notions creep around
It makes me think long agoI was brought into this life
A little lamb, a little lamb
Courageous, stumbling
Fearless was my middle nameBut somewhere there I lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they've laid, they claim toWalk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me highSay, "Keep within the boundaries
If you want to play"
Say, "Contradiction only
Makes it harder"How can I be
What I want to be?
When all I want to do is strip away
These stilled constraintsAnd crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up andWalk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me highIf I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eyeLook me in the eye
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when I fall toWalk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me highWalk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me high
