I Will Not Be Afraid Lyrics - Batdorf & Maclean

Because it's you, because it's true 

Because you're far too good to lose 

Because you're here, because it's clear 

Because your love has been drowning the fear 

I will not be afraid 

I will not run away 

I will not leave too soon 

And then wish I stayed 

I will not be afraid 

I will not be afraid 

Because I've lost, because it cost 

Because my heart's been double crossed 

Because I thirst, to quench the hurt 

Because not trying is always worse 

I will not be afraid 

I will not run away 

I'll work the double shifts 

'Til the piper's paid 

I will not be afraid 

I will not be afraid 

For so long I chose to be 

A prisoner of fear 

I prolonged the slavery 

For too many years, for too many years 

I will not be afraid 

I will not run away 

I'll let those memories of failure fade 

The hand that I've been dealt, I'm gonna play 

I'll keep the things I've learned and I will not trade 

I will not be afraid 

I will not run away 

I'll grow a little stronger every day 

I'll face the music proudly that I have made 

And if you knew me then, you'll know I've changed today 

I will not be afraid 

I will not be afraid 

I will not be afraid 

I will not be afraid 

I will not be afraid
