[Verse 1]

As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down

These heavy notions creep around

Am F

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

[Chorus]

Em G

Walk unafraid

Em G

I'll be clumsy instead

Em G D

Hold me love me or leave me high.

[Verse 2]

Am F

Say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play."

Am F

Say "contradiction only makes it harder."

How can I be

What I want To be?

Am F

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

[Chorus]

Em G

Walk unafraid

Em G

I'll be clumsy instead

Em G D

Hold me love me or leave me high.

Look me in the eye

And if you see familiarity

Then celebrate the contradiction

Help me when I fall to
