"Fight The Fear" lyrics

I
Don't know anything for certain
But I hope that I
Won't let anything get in my way
And I
Have been searching for that purpose
That life will try to shoo away
So I
Will take whatever life gives me
Knock me down and beat me
Til I bleed

So I'll stop being afraid
Of the monsters in my closet
And the beasts lurking in the dark
Things I should've forgotten long ago
It's not much, but it sure is a start
So I'll practice every day
To keep the shadows away
And out of my brain

Music is the shield
And the words are the sword
And though my body's young
My soul is old
All my castles by the sea
Will wash away from me
And I'll rebuild the sand happily

And once I learn my lesson
And build my walls of stone
Well, the sea will become a dragon
And singe me to the bone
So I'll build the walls of iron
And trap him and his fire
So it's me set free

So I'll stop being afraid
Of the monsters in my closet
And the beasts lurking in the dark
And I can face a dragon
And I can fight a lion
Just as easily
So I'll practice every day
To keep the shadows away
And out of my brain

So I'll start my own adventures
Against life and its ways
Not a princess in a tower
And I'll always save the day
I won't forget my family
Because they keep me strong
If anything
I'll drag them along

And we'll fight off all the monsters
That hide beneath my bed
And the beasts lurking in the dark
And I can take these challenges
And I can take most anything
But first I'll have to start
So I'll practice every day
To keep the shadows away
And out of my brain

Hey, woah, woah, oh
So I'll practice every day
To keep the shadows away
And out of my brain
