Rebecca Sugar
Okay To Be Afraid
[Verse 1]
Weak and small
Hide it all
And step back from the light
Towering tall
What to call
This paralyzing fright
[Hook]
But you say
It's okay
Ooh
Pounding
Heartbeat
Slow and steady
Cold air
I'm scared
But your hand settles me
My fight
What's right
My mind's in a fray
But I'll do it anyway
[Verse 2]
No, don't mistake me for naive
Won't wear my heart upon my sleeve
Can't ever make this go away
See my reflection as I pass
And as I gaze into the glass
Say "it's okay to be afraid"
[Bridge]
Look inside
I'm alive
But barely breathing in
Do what's right
I will fight
For the life I've been given
[Hook]
And I'll say
It's okay
Ooh
New life
Full, rife
With possibilities
Tragic
Magic
Born inside of me
I've grown
I know
No more running away
I will stand here and I'll say
[Verse 3]
Though I was broken in the past
Picked up the pieces, swept the glass
Now it's okay to be afraid
See my reflection as I pass
And as I gaze into the glass...
