Walk Unafraid - Live in Dublin / 2005
[Intro]
I will walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me high
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me high
[Verse 1]
As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down
These heavy notions creep around
It makes me think, long ago
Well, I was brought into this life a little lamb
A little lamb
Courageous, stumbling
Fearless was my middle name
[Pre-Chrous 1]
But somewhere there I lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they've laid
They claim to
[Chorus]
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me high
[Verse 2]
Say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play."
Say "contradiction only makes it harder."
How can I be
What I want to be?
When all I want to do is strip away
These stilled constraints
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
[Chorus]
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me high
[Verse 3]
If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
Look me in the eye
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when I fall to
[Chorus]
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me high
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me high
