Lyrics

Don’t Be Afraid

Verse 1
Don’t be afraid it doesn’t hurt very long.
Don’t be down. Soon you’ll learn a new song.
Remember the rain stops very soon.
You’ll cry. You’ll die, then sing a new tune.
That’s when the sun will start to shine,
That’s when your rainbow you’ll find.

Verse 2
Don’t be afraid . She said, “Goodbye,” and she’s gone.
Don’t be afraid . Someday those nights won’t be long.
There’ll be someone who’ll make you feel good.
She’ll be so hot. You’ll be understood.
You’ll start to kiss. Your love will grow.
You’ll get so hot you will glow.

Instrumental 8 bars

Bridge
When it doesn’t work, you want to pull your hair.
You feel like you’re lost, like you’re going nowhere.
You want to run. You want to hide, but don’t know where.
Don’t give in to fear. Just hang in there.

Chorus
Don’t be afraid.
Don’t be Afraid.
Don’t be afraid.
Don’t be Afraid.

Verse 3
Don’t be afraid even though she burned you good.
Don’t be afraid, even though you think you should.
You’ll find a girl. One you can trust.
Be good to her. It’s not about the lust.
When you’re together. You think you’ve got it made,
It will last forever, just don’t...
Don’t be afraid.

Tag and fade out
Don’t be afraid.
Don’t be Afraid.
Don’t be afraid.
Don’t be Afraid.
