Afraid of the Light
Embracing the Fear: Afraid of Embracing the Light
Lyrics
I watched her go, she wouldn't stay
Observing someone leaving, unwilling to remain
And watch me throw our whole lives away
Witnessing the dissolution of our shared existence
Rather be a coward and spend every hour
Choosing cowardice over facing challenges, spending time destructively
Stepping on seeds so they don't turn to flowers
Preventing potential growth, hindering the blossoming of positive outcomes
But I know
Awareness of innate potential and purpose
That I was made for more
Understanding my inherent capacity for greater things
But it's so safe on this shore
Feeling secure in the familiar, resisting the unknown
I feel like I have to avoid
Sensing the need to evade
That heavenly voice when it
Resisting a divine calling or guidance
Tells me that I'm made of the light
Being reminded of my luminous nature
It sounds so hard to believe
Expressing difficulty in accepting the truth
It's easier to hide away
Opting for seclusion as a coping mechanism
And stay afraid of the light
Choosing to remain in fear of one's own brilliance
Hang my head low, scared of hellos
Lowering one's head, avoiding interpersonal connections
I'm trying to hide all this light that's inside
Attempting to conceal the inner brilliance from others
So they'll never know, they'll never see
Fearing the revelation of true self and potential
Just who I am or who I can be
Avoiding the unveiling of identity and capabilities
But I know
Recognizing inherent potential and purpose (repeated)
That I was made for more
Acknowledging personal capacity for greatness (repeated)
But it's so safe on this shore
Feeling comfort in the safety of the familiar
I feel like I have to avoid
Sensing the need to avoid
That heavenly voice when it
Resisting divine guidance or calling (repeated)
Tells me that I'm made of the light
Being reminded of one's luminous nature (repeated)
It sounds so hard to believe
Expressing difficulty in accepting the truth (repeated)
It's easier to hide away
Choosing seclusion as a coping mechanism (repeated)
And stay afraid of the light
Opting to remain in fear of one's own brilliance (repeated)
Ooo
Closing with a vocalization, possibly reflecting inner turmoil or contemplation
