Not Afraid

I will not be afraid
To let my love blossom
Though at times I may stray
At times I’ve forgotten
Through the long cold winter days
Love’s seed has lain still
The sun’s feeble rays
Warm not this chill
I will not be afraid
To let my love bloom
What once kept me safe
Now encloses like a tomb
When the first days of spring
Break the song from my heart
With the birds I will sing
I’m ready to start
I will not be afraid
To let my love blossom
Though my bed be a grave
And I sink to the bottom
Love’s roots will find their way
More tenacious than earth or stone
They’ll wrap themselves around your heart
Slip like a secret into your bones
Sun, water, air and soil
These things will make me grow
But no matter how I toil
Seems only love can make me whole
Sweet fragrance of a flower
This too small fade
But love, love it is the power
So I’ll not be afraid
I’ll not be afraid to let my love blossom
I shall not be afraid to let my love bloom
I will not be afraid
I need not be afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
Not afraid
