V1.
We're so in love with fighting that we're blocking out the lighting of the sun.
There's no one left to lead us. We're a nation of retreaters, every one.
PRE-CHORUS.
I won't be afraid.
I won't be afraid.
CHORUS:
Show me the light that you promised.
Happiness comes through despair.
Make it so bright, you kill the darkness everywhere.
V2.
You've given me a reason, and you're surely gonna see me if I run.
And when I wanna quit it, well, you won't let me forget it 'til it's done.
PRE-CHORUS.
I won't be afraid.
I won't be afraid.
CHORUS:
Show me the light that you promised.
Happiness comes through despair.
Make it so bright, you kill the darkness everywhere.
BRIDGE.
Now that I've found my tune, help me to sing it through,
And not be drawn away.
And if I should be let down by one of those standing 'round,
I will not turn away.
