Do not be afraid
(Do not be afraid / You cannot be afraid)
Your arms are wrapped around
(Do not be afraid / There's nothing to do)
And the claps your hands resound
(Do not be afraid / Do you feel really afraid?)
Your feet they map the ground
(Do not be afraid / It's not being afraid)
You'll have night visions
(Do not be afraid / Of not being afraid)
Your whole body
(Do not be afraid / To the window)
When it's jostled
(Do not be afraid / To the door)
We'll spend time
(Do not be afraid / Around corners)
Over and over
(Do not be afraid)
We'll spend time
(Do not be afraid)
In the mountains
