Walk Unafraid Lyrics

    As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down
    These heavy notions creep around
    It makes me think, long ago
    I was brought into this life a little lamb
    A little lamb
    Courageous, stumbling
    Fearless was my middle name.
    But somewhere there I lost my way
    Everyone walks the same
    Expecting me to step
    The narrow path they've laid
    They claim to
    Walk unafraid
    I'll be clumsy instead
    Hold my love or leave me high.

    Say "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 constraints
    And crush this charade
    Shred this sad masquerade
    I don't need no persuading
    I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
    Walk unafraid
    I'll be clumsy instead
    Hold my love or leave me high.

    If 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 eye
    Look me in the eye
    And if you see familiarity
    Then celebrate the contradiction
    Help me when I fall to
    Walk unafraid
    I'll be clumsy instead
    Hold my love or leave me high.
    Walk unafraid
    I'll be clumsy instead
    Hold my love or leave me high.
