Don't Be Afraid

Sat me down at the foot of the bed
Said you can do whatever’s in your head
I watched like it was a movie show
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid
They were just like swimmers in a pond
White on white, blond against blond
I had questions but I kept them to myself
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid
Funny how years can do what they might
And change meaning and memories alike
I’ve got a million explanations for
Every minute in my life
I saw things that I’d never seen before
After a while I started to get bored
I was only 12 at the time
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid
Later on we all went out to eat
The night was wet and the food was sweet
No one talked, nothing was said
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid
