Scared
Unveiling Hidden Fears: Embracing Courage Amidst Darkness
Lyrics
I say that I love
I express love verbally
I say that I believe
I express belief verbally
I say just a few words
I speak only a few words
And now that I'm exposed
I am now exposed/vulnerable
I look out at you to reach out to
I seek connection with you
But your heart is kept closed
Your heart remains closed
Hide behind laughter
You hide behind laughter
And a smart-assed sneer
You display a sarcastic sneer
Cover yourself from what you see,
You shield yourself from what you perceive
What you see and hear
You protect yourself from what you see and hear
No, you can't believe
You struggle to believe
That means you'd take a chance
Believing would involve taking a risk
To reach out
Taking a chance to connect
There are small things that we can do
There are small positive actions we can take daily
Every single day
To become heroes in our own way
To make ourselves heroes
In our own little way
You experience fear
You are scared
You are deeply scared
(But so am I)
(Acknowledging mutual fear)
You are scared-so deep inside
You lie because of fear
You are scared-so you lie
You hide due to fear
You are scared-so you hide
(Reiterating fear)
You are scared-but don't you know
(Reinforcing fear)
So am I
(Mutual admission of fear)
So am I
(Repetition of mutual fear)
I'm scared
I am scared too
There's no exposure in darkness
Darkness conceals vulnerabilities
No change in hate
Hate remains unchanged in darkness
I want to try to reach to you
I want to reach out despite challenges
But is it too late?
Questioning if it's too late for connection
