Do Not Fear
Embracing Hope: Overcoming Fear & Finding Strength
Lyrics
Da-da-da da-da
Expressive introduction with nonspecific sounds.
Da-da-da da-da
Continuation of expressive introduction with nonspecific sounds.
I was frightened by the sight of a life of pain
Expressing fear and distress about a life filled with pain.
Whether easy days or complicated, it was all the same
Whether days were easy or complicated, the experience felt the same.
It was scary. The main emotion I felt was shame
Highlighting the fear, with shame being the predominant emotion.
Tied myself to opinions of others while depression had me chained
Being emotionally tied to others' opinions while struggling with depression.
I remained with so many thoughts of doubt
Having numerous thoughts of doubt.
Havin issues with my identity. I lost it in the crowd
Struggling with identity and feeling lost in a crowd.
But I changed. It was life that taught me how
Undergoing a positive change, learning from life experiences.
To be the man you see & hear right now
Reflecting on personal growth to become the present self.
Oh my darlin, love will ignite your soul
Love is a powerful force that can ignite the soul.
All while hate & anger's fighting for control
Acknowledging the internal struggle between love and negative emotions like hate and anger.
For your callin might be a rocky road
Recognizing that one's calling or purpose may involve challenges.
But when you're going through; just know you're not alone
Encouraging resilience by emphasizing that one is not alone in difficult times.
Do not fear
An explicit statement encouraging the listener not to fear.
Do not fear
Reiteration of the encouragement not to fear.
I believed in the God who I'd never seen
Expressing belief in a higher power, despite not having seen it.
Put my trust in blind communication. It felt like a dream
Placing trust in communication even if it seems like a dream.
But I had faith if I didn't walk away
Maintaining faith and perseverance, anticipating that struggles will lead to a positive outcome.
That all my hurt would be worth it because it would all work out someday
Enduring pain with the belief that it will be worth it in the end.
So, I stayed & I put up a fight
Fighting against unfavorable odds and challenges.
With odds against me. Not knowing how to make it through the night
Facing challenges without a clear path forward.
& I prayed to live a better life
Praying for a better life and brighter future.
& kept the darkness from driving out my light
Preserving one's inner light despite facing darkness.
Oh my darlin, love will ignite your soul
Reiteration of the power of love to ignite the soul.
All while hate & anger's fighting for control
Acknowledging the ongoing battle between love and negative emotions.
For your callin might be a rocky road
Emphasizing that one's calling may involve a challenging journey.
But when you're going through; just know you're not alone
Reassurance that, in tough times, the individual is not alone.
Oh my darlin, love will ignite your soul
Reiteration of the transformative power of love.
All while hate & anger's fighting for control
Acknowledging the ongoing struggle with negative emotions.
For your callin might be a rocky road
Reiterating the presence of challenges in one's calling.
But when you're going through; just know you're not alone
Reassurance that the individual is not alone in their journey.
Do not fear
Explicitly advising against fearing.
Do not fear
Final reiteration of the advice not to fear.
