Don't Be Afraid
Air Supply · Now And Forever
When winter calls and the wind won't wait
Look through the rain see the leaves start to break
Once so alone like a prayer on the sea
Nothing to hide, so much there to see
(Chorus)
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
The thoughts you wear like a long lost friend
Are buried so deep that you can't see them end
You know spring will come just as quick as you need
And run straight to you when the dark nights are free
(Chorus)
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Look through the rain see the leaves start to break
Once so alone like a prayer on the sea
Nothing to hide, so much there to see
(Chorus)
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
The thoughts you wear like a long lost friend
Are buried so deep that you can't see them end
You know spring will come just as quick as you need
And run straight to you when the dark nights are free
(Chorus)
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't Be Afraid
