Won't Be Afraid

Well, I've been at the top of a cliff
And seen ships go sailing away
And I've watched the sea turn green
And bright blue fish swim in the shade

I've imagined skies in reverse
And heard stormy mountains collide
And I was there by the shore on the night
When the stars all married the tide

When the time arrives
When we must form a line
Would you stand and take my side?
Would you take my side?

No, I won't be afraid
You know I won't be afraid
When the evening takes
All of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far
As it will ever be away

And now we've journeyed through the world
As if our dreams were an ocean to wade
Underwater kites they glide
Like a friendship set on a wave

When the time arrives
When we must form a line
Would you stand and take my side?
Would you take my side?

No, I won't be afraid
You know I won't be afraid
When the evening takes
All of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far
As it will ever be away

And maybe I'm afraid of fools
The children that are saved
And maybe I'm not certain
When they draw the final curtain

The woman in the water
And the baby in the bath
And the morning is as far
As it could ever be away

No, I won't be afraid
You know I won't be afraid
When the evening takes
All of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far
As it will ever be away
