Chords for this part: Em D G Am
A man walks away when every muscle says to stay
How many yesterdays - they each weigh heavy
Who says what changes may come?
Who says what we call home?
I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades
The dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid
I've been a million times in my mind
This is really just a technicality, frailty, reality
Uh, it's time to breathe, time to believe
Let it go and run towards the sea
They don't teach that, they don't know what you mean
They don't understand, they don't know what you mean
They don't get it, I wanna scream
I wanna breathe again, I wanna dream
I wanna float a quote from Martin Luther King
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid

You said we could start over, try and make it all okay. |
Didn't you, now? Didn't you? __|
So our past has been rewritten

You'd said that I was useless, | |

Well Jesus loves me fine. /

If I jumped into the ocean to believe
If I climbed a mountain would I have to reach? /|
Do I even dare to speak?--to dream?--believe? / |
Give me a voice so strong |
I can question what I have seen __|
Hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming | |
Hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off /
Hold onto this boy a little longer /
Take another trip around the sun |__|
