Don't Be Afraid
Salim Nourallah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the dead of night
On your darkest day
Think of these words
Don't be afraid

The pain will cease
You'll be happy then
Let in the light
Let the healing begin

There's some things I know
(Oh-oh)
That we're all scared of
(Oh-oh)
Meet them head-on
We'll face them with love

And when the day fades out
And you're all alone
Think of the ones
Who love you so

We're always here to remind you it's okay

Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Be afraid

In the dead of night
On your darkest day
Think of these words
Yeah don't lose your way

There is a light
You will find if you hang on

Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Be afraid

Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid




Don't be afraid
Be afraid

D K

Ohhhhh that’s where I know this song from. I heard it in the wire and could not scratch where this song came from, but it came on some MP3 player I got from like JCPenny like more than a decade ago.
