Walk Unafraid

R.E.M.

Up

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 my 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 my 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 my love me or leave me
High

Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me
High
