Laura Folkers - I've Been Frightened Lyrics

Once I was a child playing against the rules
They came unannounced and persuaded me
I was not meant to hold the hand of someone else
I should repent

Once I was a child playing by the rules
They double-crossed me from behind
I followed them into the dark

If they ban all the joy, wait a little while
If they send you packing, run with blank smile
If they shoot you to the moon, fly with your head held high

If it ties you to things that you fear the most
And you search for what sets you free
Keep the search for yourself

I've been frightened
But I don't mind it
I've been hiding
And I will fight it

If they send you packing
If they make you running and
If they harm you all the way

If they keep you searching
If they drag you under
If they give you nothing to say

If it ties you to things that you fear the most
And you search for what sets you free
Keep the search for youself
