Not Afraid of the Dark

I'm not afraid of the dark

But I used to be

That little kid hiding under covers

Every time the lights turned out

That was then, this is now

And the monsters ain't in the closet

The stuff that scares me most

Is hiding right outside my front door

'Cause I've grown up and gotten stronger

But my problems got bigger too

As days go by, I'm brought to realize

That I'll never stop needing You

So I bow my head and say my prayers

I'm asking You for strength

I can't make it on my own

There ain't no way

I used to run far from home

When life got too hard

Retreat to that treeline down the road

Under a night sky full of stars

Man, I've come so far

I don't even live in that house anymore

But if I'm being honest

I'm still running in my heart

'Cause I've grown up and gotten stronger

But my problems got bigger too

As days go by, I'm brought to realize

That I'll never stop needing You

So I bow my head and say my prayers

I'm asking You for strength

I can't make it on my own

There ain't no way

Ooh, Father

Father

And all those nights, You held me tight

I still need to feel You near me

And all those days, I ran away

You were right there, waiting on me

You were right there, waiting on me

'Cause I've grown up and gotten stronger

But my problems got bigger too

As days go by, I'm brought to realize

That I'll never stop needing You

So I bow my head and say my prayers

I'm asking You for strength

I can't make it on my own

There ain't no way

I'm not afraid of the dark

But I used to be
