FEAR GOT IN THE WAY



VERSE 1 Once upon a dream, far as I could see
Stars were like a thousand angel eyes smiling down on me.
I could paint the sky, change the light of day.
I could do most anything til fear got in the way.

VERSE 2 My charming prince appeared like magic, unaware

But could not find the words to speak - my fear got in the way.

BRIDGE Where is it written dreams cannot come true?
Am I not in charge of my own destiny?
My heart may pound when the stakes are high,
Got to leave the ground if I want to fly.
Look at me! I am free!

VERSE 3 Free to live my dreams. I see it clearly now.
It's not about what's possible but what I will allow.
Oh, what a feeling running through my veins
That I can do most anything
As long as I remember, I swear I will remember,
Not to let my fear get in the way.
