The Neal Morse Band - Not Afraid, Pt. 1 lyrics

Summer winds on sinking sands A bitter rain upon my hands Dreading every waking day Reason came and reason left The scarlet stain did not forget What I could not explain away With no pennies on my eyes Fear had its ice cold grip upon my life But I'm not afraid anymore Yeah, I think I finally opened up the door No, I'm not afraid anymore And I'm ready to reach out for something more Tried and true, black or blue I used to think, "Man, what's the use?" When everything turns bad in the end You play your cards and try to be Thе changing world you'd like to see But people will lеt you down, my friend The sky grew dim, the curtains flew Then a light came and I saw the truth And I'm not afraid anymore Yeah, I think I finally opened up the door No, I'm not afraid anymore And I'm ready to reach out for something more I'm ready to reach out for something more I'm not afraid of dying And I'm not afraid of crying I can't wait to go on living I'm gonna give it all I got 'Cause the lens of life will linger Just keep singing for the singer And the song will never end I'm gonna take it from the top 'Cause I'm not afraid anymore And I think I finally opened up the door No, I'm not afraid anymore And I'm ready to reach out for something more No, I'm not afraid anymore And I think I finally opened up the door No, I'm not afraid anymore And I'm ready to reach out for something more
