Not Be Afraid - David Myles

I saw a man and he scorned his wife in fear she was untrue

And her hands they shook and her tears they fell for something she didn’t do

But he protects his pride by his meaner side towards the things he doesn’t know

He kills the seeds of the thing he fears before they ever grow

Before they ever grow

It’s what keeps our tongue tied up from saying what we really know is true

And it paralyses our will to do the things we ought to do

I’ve seen it your eyes before and I’ve seen as of late

We’ve both seen the damage love can cause and it makes us hesitate

It makes us hesitate

So let’s put our fears away

Let’s not be afraid

To say what we’ve been meaning to say

Let’s no longer, no longer be afraid

To fall in love

Love

A president said it was the only thing we really had to fear

And though he’s talking about a time of war I know just how he feels

Cause it makes us grow a thicker skin with each and every day

Whether it be a time of love or a time or war the story’s still the same

Protect ourselves from pain
