When I was a child My nerves ran wild When I watched my friends Rise to the tops of the treesWith the risk of fall I never climbed at all Every day I told myself I'm not readyMy daddy always said Nothing worth doing comes easy Time is not your friend Time is not your remedy No amount of waiting will make you Make you brave No amount of fear will keep you No amount of fear will keep you safeThe older I get The more fears I collect I gather them from All the people I meetTheir stories reveal Regrets their smiles can't conceal I carry them I carry them with meMy daddy always said Nothing worth doing comes easy Time is not your friend Time is not your remedy No amount of waiting will make you Make you brave No amount of fear will keep you No amount of fear will keep you safeWhat if the steps I take turn out to be mistakes? How can somebody like me learn to say? Come what may Come what may Come what may Come what may Come what may Come what mayMy daddy always said Nothing worth doing comes easy Time is not your friend Time is not your remedy No amount of waiting will make you Make you braveNo amount of fear will keep you No amount of fear will keep you safe No amount of fear will keep you safe Your fears won't keep you safe
