I’m Not Afraid of Anything
[WOMAN 1]
Jenny's afraid of water
I mean, she swims so well, but still
She's afraid of water
And so she won't go near the sea...
Not me
Katie's afraid of darkness
I mean, she sleeps and all, but still
She's afraid of darkness
So when the lights are out she has to hold my hand-
I don't understand
I'm not afraid of anything-
Be it mountains, water, dragons, dark or sky
I'm not afraid of anything-
Tell me, where's the challenge if you never try?
So watch me fly!
I'm not afraid
Daddy's afraid of babies
I mean, he got through me, but now
He's afraid of babies-
Guess he's scared of what they'll be...
Not me
And Mama's afraid of crying
You know, she tries to hold it in-
She's afraid of crying
And she can look at me with tears stuck in her eye
And I don't know why
I'm not afraid of anything
Be it growing old or going out of style
I'm not afraid of anything-
Who would give up what they want without a trial?
Another mile!
I'm not afraid!
And I feel the calling of adventure
And I hear the ringing in my ear-
The lights are glaring, trumpets blaring
I'm right here!
And I hear the calling of tomorrow
And I feel the stirring in my bones
And David loves me...
He's afraid to hold me
Listen to the calling of excitement-
Can you feel the pounding of my heart?
The lights are ready, pulses steady
I can start!
Never stop the calling of a challenge!
Blessing on the water and the stones!
And David loves me-
He's afraid to tell me
David loves me-
He's afraid to trust me
He's afraid to hold me
And he'll always be...
He's afraid of me...
And I'm not afraid of anyone!
I am sure to win with anyone at all!
I'm not afraid of anyone!
Not a soul alive can get behind this wall!
So let them call
And watch them fall
'Cause after all...
I'm not afraid
