Don't be Afraid

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Don't be afraid of what you want,

Still staring at the skyline from the riverfront,

Buildings like mirrors reflect back on us,

Don't be afraid of what you want.

Don't be afraid to start a fight,

You'll never see them swinging at you from behind,

Here let me see that, come into the light,

Don't be afraid to start a fight.

If you cross your fingers, ghosts'll pass right through.

From across the river, I'll watch over you.

Don't be afraid of what you are,

The beauty's in the contrast of your clashing parts,

Stars shine the brightest when everything goes dark,

Don't be afraid of what you are.

If you cross your fingers, ghosts will pass right through.

And across the river, I will wait for you.

So call it out, find the sound,

The world is waiting, then I'll be here,

In the glare of sunlight fading, out.

If you try to hide it, it only weighs you down.

Let the light surround it, exposing all you've found.
