Scared of God
Lael Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember standing in that little pink house
Looking down the hallway of memories
And I remember dreaming of my little big dreams
They would always seem to get the best of me

So, what are you scared of
Why are you scared
What are you scared of

Oh, I've been through plenty valleys high and low
And all this stretching I could snap in two
When I fix my eyes all I see is future
What I see comes to focus in the life around me

So, what are you scared of
Why are you scared
What are you scared of

Ever since I was young and in love I could barely resist it
I can feel it in my bones my blood deep down in my spirit
The sensation on my heart and on my lips when I kissed it
I was holding onto fear so afraid that I missed it
But you never missed me

So, what am I scared of




Why are you scared
What are we scared of
