I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to let you win
I heard about your cutting blade
and now fear is sinking in
I´ve been telling myself it's all in my mind
I don't need these walls to hide behind

I don't want to be afraid
Fear is your weapon of choice
I spoke aloud when I prayed
Just to believe my own voice
I´m saying God´s words until they become mine
Please do not fear I'm with you for all time

I don't want to be afraid
I'm not, I yell with the youth
But my heart would be betrayed
Because right now it´s not the truth
I´m afraid for my country, I´m afraid for my life
The peace I describe you cut through with your knife

I don't want to be afraid
I won´t show you that I am
These waves of terror that you've made
Won't break the will of man
Even afraid we march with lasting bravery
I have love inside that not even death can steal from me

I don't want to be afraid
and one of these days I won't
I see beauty every day
Even if you don´t
No matter what horrors or weapons you use
Trust me in the end you are going to lose
