Not Because of Fear


I wont stop trying to walk on water,Even if i cannot swim.Not because of fear i won'tLose all my dreams and hopes
Stop speaking my mind,For fear i wont fit in.Not because of fear i won'tLose all my dreams and hopes
Turn my head from my unworthy brother,When my help he needs.Not because of fear i won'tLose all my dreams and hopes
Disguise myself for something else,Just so you can be at peace.Not because of fear i wontLose all my dreams and hopes
When i look at the sky and see its heightI wont lie, "the sky's your limit", fills me with fright,I know it wont be easy, it's such a bumpy flight,But it's always in dark skies where a true star shines
Who is not afraid of the unknown?Who hasnt felt unsure before?All the answers i wish i knewOnly courages people, which are a few,Go out to the world and actually do
So i wont stop, Oh no i won't !Because of fear,  lose all my dreams and hopes
