Keep You Safe

When I was a child
My nerves ran wild
When I watched my friends
Rise to the tops of the treesWith the risk of fall
I never climbed at all
Every day I told myself
I'm not readyMy daddy always said
Nothing worth doing comes easy
Time is not your friend
Time is not your remedy
No amount of waiting will make you
Make you brave
No amount of fear will keep you
No amount of fear will keep you safeThe older I get
The more fears I collect
I gather them from
All the people I meetTheir stories reveal
Regrets their smiles can't conceal
I carry them
I carry them with meMy daddy always said
Nothing worth doing comes easy
Time is not your friend
Time is not your remedy
No amount of waiting will make you
Make you brave
No amount of fear will keep you
No amount of fear will keep you safeWhat if the steps I take turn out to be mistakes?
How can somebody like me learn to say?
Come what may
Come what may
Come what may
Come what may
Come what may
Come what mayMy daddy always said
Nothing worth doing comes easy
Time is not your friend
Time is not your remedy
No amount of waiting will make you
Make you braveNo amount of fear will keep you
No amount of fear will keep you safe
No amount of fear will keep you safe
Your fears won't keep you safe
