Afraid
Sometimes it seems so hard just to step outside
Great big world and not a single place to hide
And when life's storms come crashing down
There's nowhere to go, no hope to be found
While it seems like all my friends have it made
I'm always behind, always a little afraid
Sometimes it seems so hard just trying to stay afloat
Set adrift in this great big world without a buoy or boat
And when I think I'm finally nearing shore
I'm swept away again and out the open door
While it seems like all my friends have it made
I'm always behind, always a little afraid
Sometimes it seems so hard just trying to find my way
In this maze of a world, it's so easy to go astray
And when a new day dawns or comes to end
I just brace myself and face the world again
Though it seems like all my friends have it made
They're all just like me, always a little afraid.
