Are you afraid,
Afraid of spreading your wings?
Are you afraid,
Afraid of showing your beautiful soul?
Are you afraid,
Afraid to speak your mind?
Are you afraid,
Afraid to take a risk?
Are you afraid,
Afraid of falling?
Are you afraid,
Afraid to love?
Are you afraid,
Afraid to get bruised?
Dear child,
Don't be afraid.
Because to fear small things such as these,
Is to fear living life itself.
And to fear living life,
Is to never live at all.
