For a very long time i was standing still
Step, step,
But everything changes,
And i grew tired of being afraid.
Step, step.
See me. I have learned how to dance,
I have learned how to sing,
I have learned how to overcome my fear.
Step, Step.
Do you feel me drawing closer to you?
I can see the world you live in now,
and I am afraid.
Step, Step.
but i am not stopping.
Each day, through each challenge
I step
I step closer to the things i have always wanted
To the things i was always afraid to have,
and afraid i would never have.
Now i am afraid again,
Afraid of rejection, afraid of not trying,
Afraid of being alone, afraid of being with you
I chase life, I chase love, I chase what i have never known
and what i cannot live without.
Must i go all the way alone,
can't you come just a little closer?
Help me to be unafraid.
Fear.
Love.
I step.
