☆ First Aid Kit – Walk Unafraid (R.E.M. cover)

As the sun comes up
as the moon goes down
These heavy notions creep around
It makes me think long ago
I was brought into
this life a little lamb
A little lamb
Courageous stumbling
Fearless was my middle name
But somewhere
there I lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they’ve laid
They claim to
Walk unafraid
I’ll be clumsy instead
Hold me love me or leave me high
Say keep within the boundaries
if you want to play
Say contradiction
only makes it harder
How can I be
What I want To be
When all I want to do
is strip away
These stilled constraints
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don’t need no persuading
I’ll trip fall pick myself up and
Walk unafraid
I’ll be clumsy instead
Hold me love me or leave me high
If I have a bag of rocks
to carry as I go
I just want to
hold my head up high
I don’t care
what I have to step over
I’m prepared to look
you in the eye
Look me in the eye
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when I fall to
Walk unafraid
I’ll be clumsy instead
Hold me love me or leave me high
I will walk unafraid
I’ll be clumsy instead
Hold me love me or leave me high
