Why are you afraid?
\nWhy do you stay so far away?<\/p>\n
Why do you read
\nRejection in silence
\nAnd betrayal in breath?<\/p>\n
Ask yourself…
\nWhy are you afraid?<\/p>\n
You fear to speak
\nTo move left, or to move right.
\nFor like nervous birds
\nThey have quickfasthearts
\nAnd they jump and flit
\nAnd fight at every start.<\/p>\n
You call out;
\n“C’mon, be brave!
\nTest me! Test you!
\nLet’s find kindness
\nHope and steadfast truth.
\n“C’mon, be brave!
\nTest me! Test you!<\/p>\n
But still, in the shadows
\nAnd on the edges they hide
\nToo worried to look into your eyes.<\/p>\n
Ask yourself…
\nWhy are you afraid?
\nWhy do you stay so far away?<\/p>\n
Why do you read
\nRejection in silence
\nAnd betrayal in breath?<\/p>\n
Ask yourself…
\nWhy are you afraid?
\nMaybe, just maybe
\nThe world isn’t rejecting you.
\nMaybe, just maybe
\nThere’s nothing wrong with you.<\/p>\n
Hold up your head and your heart
\nKeep smiling, keep being you.
\nBecause maybe, just maybe
\nThis world isn’t rejecting you.<\/p>\n
You call out;
\nTake a risk and
\nKnow me for who I am!
\nI laugh and dance
\nand sing and smile,
\nI see the beauty
\nOf this world in every mile.<\/p>\n
But, I guess trust is just too hard
\nFor some souls to find.
\nEven when you give them
\nYour open heart and open mind.<\/p>\n
Ask yourself…
\nWhy are you afraid?
\nWhy do you stay so far away?<\/p>\n
Why do you read
\nRejection in silence
\nAnd betrayal in breath?<\/p>\n
Ask yourself…
\nWhy are you afraid?
\nMaybe, just maybe
\nThe world isn’t rejecting you.
\nMaybe, just maybe
\nThere’s nothing wrong with you. <\/p>\n
Hold up your head and your heart
\nKeep smiling, keep being you.
\nBecause maybe, just maybe
\nThis world isn’t rejecting you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
