In 2013, I left my job with no promises, no security, and only a dream to hold on to; to change lives with music and the message that we’re all made in God’s image. As a father and a husband, I know the fear of pursuing your dreams, wondering if you’re making the right move, not feeling good enough...
Hook
What are you afraid of? Well, go do it anyway!/
What are you waiting on? The right time is any day!/
My God say you better fear not!/ (x4)
Verse 1
-On a narrow road I was looking for a guide/
Met an old guy who had been around sometime/
-Took me to a graveyard much to my surprise/
This was the best place he could teach me about life/
-“The richest place you’ll find is the cemetery side/
Where the people buried died with their riches left inside.”/
-Looked me in my eyes, then he said simply/
“You want to live full, you’d better die empty.”/

Don’t you dare die if you ain’t live/
Already dead living in your fears/ (x2)
Don’t you dare die if you ain’t live/ (x3)
Don’t you dare die!/

Verse 2
-I looked back at him and said “What do you mean?”/
He looked back at me, “Go follow your dreams/
-Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow’s just a dream/
You only have now and there is no in between.”/
-I said “I know my purpose and I often thought about it/
But I don’t feel good enough,” there was an awkward silence/
-Took me to a tombstone with my name on it/
Said “Nigel knew his purpose and he often talked about it.”/
-Many stuck in fear but they seldom walk up out it/
Many know the Way but they mostly walk around it/
-Many know they Word but still mostly doubt it/
Stay on the narrow road if you want to stand up out it/
-With that last bit of wisdom, he started to fade away/
I said “Wait! Anything else that you want to say?”/
-He said “We keep these treasures in jars of clay/
Spend them now, once they break you can’t take them anyway, why wait?”/
