Lyrics
NOT AFRAID (power ballad style) --
Bonnie Warren / Laura Warren
(BW - 610-420-9388/615-636-3609)
Hearts been broke a dozen times, clouds darkened my skies
Curled up in bed and cried, I admit, but I survived
Made mistakes when I been dared, gave too much when I cared
Screamed out this can't be fair, I confess, but I'm still here
CHORUS
With every breath, every day
Could be a little torn, might feel a bit unsure
But I'm not afraid
With every step,on the (my) way
Gonna take some chances, whatever happens,
I'll be ok, I'm not afraid
Still making some bad choices, but now my inner voice says
Don't listen to the noises, that try to stop you (or "that try to stop me")
Here I am, here I'll stay, staring fear right in its face
Things get better, things'll change, I believe that, yes I do (or "that's what I believe" )
CHORUS:
With every breath, every day
Could be a little tense, 'bout what's coming next
But I'm not afraid
With every step, on the (my) way
Gonna take some chances, whatever happens
I'll be ok, I'm not afraid
Bridge
I wanna feel every feeling, the hunger the grieving
The lonely and the empty, the hoping and believing
It makes me who I am
CHORUS: repeat first chorus
