Afraid No More

I was born old in a world as young as a growing child
 Everybody is seeking something and I don't know where to hide
 I was born calm in a world as loud as a crowded street
 Every time I go out there, oh it carries me off my feet
 And I was born dark in a world as white as my neighbors' wall
 All the time i've been waiting for a ship to take me home
 I don't want to be afraid no more
 I wanna break out and rise up to the skies
 I don't want to feel this pain no more
 I wanna stay up there and close my eyes
 And let the world dance around me
 ♪
 I was born steady in a world that always keeps on changing
 If you don't go along for a while one day you become a stranger
 And I was born bold in a world that is told between the lines
 So I write 'til I'm finally free from a story that's not mine
 I don't want to be afraid no more
 I wanna break out and rise up to the skies
 I don't want to feel this pain no more
 I wanna stay up there and close my eyes
 If I could choose where I was born
 I would choose a place that knows no fear
 But since this change is mine to live
 It would be nowhere else but here
 I don't want to be afraid no more
 I wanna break out and rise up to the skies
 I don't want to feel this pain no more
 I wanna stay up there and close my eyes
 And let the world dance around me
 I don't want to be afraid no more
 I wanna break out and rise up to the skies
 I don't want to feel this pain no more
 I wanna stay up there and close my eyes
 Ohh, I don't want to be afraid no more
 I wanna break out and rise up to the skies
 I don't want to feel this pain no more
 I wanna stay up there and close my eyes
 And let the world dance around me
