Don't Be Afraid
Overcoming Fear: Tyrone Wells' Empowering Message in 'Don't Be Afraid'
Lyrics
You feel the fear creeping under you
You sense fear gradually taking hold of you
There's a current come to swallow you
There's a force approaching to engulf you
Because you know there's nothing you can do
Realizing there's nothing within your power to change
You've lost control and it's not up to you
You've lost command, and the situation is beyond your control
Down on your knees, you're praying please
On your knees, pleading desperately
A voice is saying
A comforting voice intervenes
Don't be afraid, it's all right you're not alone in the dark
Reassurance not to fear, acknowledging you're not alone in the darkness
you'll get through the night
Encouragement to endure through the night
Don't be afraid, I see you I know your name
Emphasizing awareness of your identity and past struggles
And I know what you've been through
Acknowledging understanding of your past experiences
Don't be afraid
A repeated plea not to succumb to fear
Don't be afraid
Reiteration of the plea not to be afraid
Fear's a fire, the walls are caving in
Fear likened to a destructive fire, with surroundings collapsing
You see the demons and the seraphim's
Mention of encountering both demonic and angelic forces
The battle lines stretch from east to west
Describing a widespread conflict between opposing forces
The war it wages when all you want is rest
Highlighting the ongoing internal struggle despite the desire for peace
It's all crashing down, still through the sound
Everything is falling apart, yet a voice persists
A voice is saying
A voice interjects amid the chaos
Don't be afraid, it's all right you're not alone in the dark
Reassurance not to fear, emphasizing companionship in darkness
you'll get through the night
Encouragement to persevere through the challenging night
Don't be afraid, I see you I know your name
Affirmation of recognizing and understanding the individual
And I know what you've been through
Acknowledging awareness of the individual's past struggles
Don't be afraid
A repeated plea not to succumb to fear
Don't be afraid
Reiteration of the plea not to be afraid
Perfect love casts out all the fear
Introduction of the concept that perfect love eliminates fear
It calls you closer, I hope that you can hear
Describing love drawing you nearer, expressing hope for comprehension
