Don'T Be Afraid

Forever is just a state of mind
True happiness is yours to find
Reach out for life. Bathe in the stream
Don't be afraid to dream.

You will face Hell and feel distress
Emotions swell. Do not suppress
When it seems too heavy and you wonder why
Don't be afraid to cry.

Go after all you desire
In your soul, create a fire
Give all that you can give
Don't be afraid to live.

Material things will come to an end
Into the spirit we will descend
Give Glory to our God on High
Don't be afraid to die.

Don't be afraid to dream
Don't be afraid to cry
Don't be afraid to live
Don't be afraid to die.

        Of all the enemies and difficulties we face in life, fear is the greatest.
