Feathers Wise - I Am Not Afraid Lyrics

I can see from these heights
Everyone I know
Rising up day by day
And still so far to go

We have crawled and scraped and stayed alive
The odds were against us every day
But I have passed on through the flames with you
To fly away

I am not afraid to fly into the future
They can't stop me now, I got my wings today
I am not afraid to live the truth within me
And I will not back down 'cause love is here to stay

Everything I have known
Has led me here to you
Here we stand side by side
The only out is through

We have trained and grown and learned to thrive
So many of us die along the way
We have let go of shame to bear the flame
Of love, of love

I am not afraid to fly into the future
They can't stop me now, I got my wings today
I am not afraid to live the truth within me
And I will not back down 'cause love is here to stay

I am not afraid to fly into the future
They can't stop me now, I got my wings today
I am not afraid to live the truth within me
And I will not back down 'cause love is here to stay

I stand upon the shoulders of those who came before
The ones who threw the bricks and fought the culture war
The ones who threw the shot glasses
The ones who rioted in the tenderloin
The ones who died in the plague years
The ones who suffered in silence
And the ones who were out in their glory and
Changed the world by their very existence
