LYRICS Don’t Be Afraid To Fall Verse 1 (a): You sit in your bedroom feeling so small, So hard just to get out ‘cause you are scared you might fall, But you fell didn’t you? You fell despite it all. Verse 1 (b): So you sat crying needing to call, Your phone whispered loneliness, And loneliness made a wall, And you fell didn’t you? You fell despite it all. Chorus: Oh, don’t be afraid, This feeling will change, It’s a choice you made, So now rearrange, Oh, don’t be afraid, Reach out to a friend, Life is like a wave, It’s not the end. Oh no, it’s not the end. Verse 2: You stand in the hallway, You stare at the door, You’re too scared to open it, You’re scared that you might hit the floor, But you fell didn’t you? You fell despite it all. Chorus: Oh, don’t be afraid, This feeling will change, It’s a choice you made, So now rearrange, Oh, don’t be afraid, Reach out to a friend, Life is like a wave, It’s not the end. Oh no, it’s not the end. Verse 3 (a): You feel like a failure, Self doubt in your veins, But your heart won’t fail you, It only heals the pain, But you’ll fall sometimes, You’ll fall despite that pain. Verse 3 (b): Looking for a way out, Self harm on your mind, But that’s just a cop out, No freedom there to find, And you’ll fall sometimes, You’ll fall and, you know, that’s just fine. Chorus: Oh, don’t be afraid, This feeling will change, It’s a choice you made, So now rearrange, Oh, don’t be afraid, Reach out to a friend, Life is like a wave, It’s not the end. Oh no, it’s not the end. “cause life’s like a wave… ©Nathan Kaye 2006 credits from Waves of Life, released October 25, 2016 All vocals, acoustic & lapsteel guitars, 5 string bass, Djembe, cello & violin sampler, electronic foot-drum kit, extra drum programming - Nathan Kaye Written, performed, recorded, produced and mixed by Nathan Kaye at Dreamseeds Sound Design Studio license © Nathan Kaye 2016.
