Spent ten years on this pavement

And I finally caught a dream

If I'm honest it's a terrifying thing

Cause' I feel crazy taking pictures

Hear a thousand people scream

This is a lot for an Oklahoma kid like me

Chase me down outside of Georgia

I was sure that I was done

Something in me would not turn around and run

I heard the Lord in California

I remembered who I was when I learned to dance

With the fear that I've been running from

I've been scared to death of failing

Scared that I'd look like a fool

And I'd rather quit than risk that I could lose

Now I'm not proud of that position

But it's the hand that I've been dealt

But as far as I'm concerned that hand can go to hell

Chase me down outside of Georgia

I was sure that I was done

Something in me would not turn around and run, oh oh

I heard the Lord in California

I remembered who I was when I learned to dance

With the fear that I'd been running from, oh oh yeah

No I won't run away (oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)

No I am not afraid (oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)

I was down outside of Georgia so sure that I was done

But something in me would not turn around and run

Heard the Lord in California

And I remembered who I was when I learned to dance

With the fear that I'd been running from

Learned to dance with the fear that I'd been running from
