Lyrics:
Verse 1:
One day when I was younger
my grandpa sat me down
told me that true wisdom
is not so easily found
Only as the years
they pass before our eyes
do storm clouds lift away
and show us bluer skies
And all alone we sit
with wrinkles on our skin
looking in the mirror
of what might have been
The moments you will treasure
and shine a light upon
make them last, while you can
just blink and then they're gone
He said...
Chorus:
I was afraid to laugh
too scared to walk tall
to stand out in the crowd
and be part of it all
I was afraid to love
I was afraid to live
afraid to show this world
what I had to give
Bridge:
Now take this as a warning
don't make the same mistakes
find that strength inside
before it is too late
Chorus:
I was afraid to laugh
too scared to walk tall
to stand out in the crowd
and be part of it all
I was afraid to live
I was afraid to cry
as seconds keep on tickin'
man, I'm afraid to die
Outro:
I was afraid to love
I was afraid to live
afraid to show this world
all I had to give
I was afraid to laugh
too scared to walk tall
to stand out in the crowd
and be part of it all
I was afraid to live
I was afraid to cry
the seconds keep on tickin'
and I'm afraid to die
