Afraid No More

I was born old in a world as young as a growing child Everybody is seeking something and I don't know where to hide I was born calm in a world as loud as a crowded street Every time I go out there, oh it carries me off my feet And I was born dark in a world as white as my neighbors' wall All the time i've been waiting for a ship to take me home I don't want to be afraid no more I wanna break out and rise up to the skies I don't want to feel this pain no more I wanna stay up there and close my eyes And let the world dance around me I was born steady in a world that always keeps on changing If you don't go along for a while one day you become a stranger And I was born bold in a world that is told between the lines So I write 'til I'm finally free from a story that's not mine I don't want to be afraid no more I wanna break out and rise up to the skies I don't want to feel this pain no more I wanna stay up there and close my eyes If I could choose where I was born I would choose a place that knows no fear But since this change is mine to live It would be nowhere else but here I don't want to be afraid no more I wanna break out and rise up to the skies I don't want to feel this pain no more I wanna stay up there and close my eyes And let the world dance around me I don't want to be afraid no more I wanna break out and rise up to the skies I don't want to feel this pain no more I wanna stay up there and close my eyes Ohh, I don't want to be afraid no more I wanna break out and rise up to the skies I don't want to feel this pain no more I wanna stay up there and close my eyes And let the world dance around me
