Tread Away the Dread
Father, I was walking the route of mere doubt
Lord, You know exactly what I'm talking about
Go ahead, Satan, and fill my hopeless head with utter dread
I will drain it all away with His spirit and will seek faith instead
Drown out the heartless lies
Wave goodbye to those goodbyes
That try to break you completely
You will be free from your captivity
Tread away the dread…the dread…the dread…
It enslaves us all while we lay awake in bed…in bed…
Wish I was dead instead…dead instead…
I love you – I will highlight it in bright red…red…
Cheerfully, I was walking the route of what’s here and above
My dear, you know exactly what I’m talking about and thinking of
I want to be brave and reduce these tears to nothing but happiness
I want to be defeated by delightfulness in its fullest and make progress
Drown out the heartless lies
Wave goodbye to those goodbyes
That try to break you completely
You will be free from your captivity
Tread away the dread…the dread…the dread…
It enslaves us all while we lay awake in bed…in bed…
Wish I was dead instead…dead instead…
I love you – I will highlight it in bright red…red…
Drown out the heartless lies
Wave goodbye to those goodbyes
That try to break you completely
You will be free from your captivity
We were in the wilderness of epic woe
We were in the sea, shimmering aglow
We are now standing tall through it all, it all
We must stand tall and answer the Lord's call
Drown out the heartless lies
Wave goodbye to those goodbyes
That try to break you completely
You will be free from your captivity
Tread away the dread…the dread…the dread…
It enslaves us all while we lay awake in bed…in bed…
Wish I was dead instead…dead instead…
I love you – I will highlight it in bright red…red…
We must stand tall and walk uprightly in hope's hall
We are an ascending wall, getting on the ball
We were all wandering around oh so aimlessly
Take my hands and dance with me graciously
Drown out the heartless lies
Wave goodbye to those goodbyes
That try to break you completely
You will be free from your captivity
You’re not to blame – where can we flee?
Where can we flee? Can we be set free?
Instead of wasting time, tread away the dread…
Come on and go ahead, tread away the dread…
