Why are you afraid?
Why do you stay so far away?
Why do you read
Rejection in silence
And betrayal in breath?
Ask yourself…
Why are you afraid?
You fear to speak
To move left, or to move right.
For like nervous birds
They have quickfasthearts
And they jump and flit
And fight at every start.
You call out;
“C’mon, be brave!
Test me! Test you!
Let’s find kindness
Hope and steadfast truth.
“C’mon, be brave!
Test me! Test you!
But still, in the shadows
And on the edges they hide
Too worried to look into your eyes.
Ask yourself…
Why are you afraid?
Why do you stay so far away?
Why do you read
Rejection in silence
And betrayal in breath?
Ask yourself…
Why are you afraid?
Maybe, just maybe
The world isn’t rejecting you.
Maybe, just maybe
There’s nothing wrong with you.
Hold up your head and your heart
Keep smiling, keep being you.
Because maybe, just maybe
This world isn’t rejecting you.
You call out;
Take a risk and
Know me for who I am!
I laugh and dance
and sing and smile,
I see the beauty
Of this world in every mile.
But, I guess trust is just too hard
For some souls to find.
Even when you give them
Your open heart and open mind.
Ask yourself…
Why are you afraid?
Why do you stay so far away?
Why do you read
Rejection in silence
And betrayal in breath?
Ask yourself…
Why are you afraid?
Maybe, just maybe
The world isn’t rejecting you.
Maybe, just maybe
There’s nothing wrong with you.
Hold up your head and your heart
Keep smiling, keep being you.
Because maybe, just maybe
This world isn’t rejecting you.
