Afraid To Fly

(album: Certified Savage - 2022)

Addicted to people's scars I can feel the vulnerability
Tell me about your pain not the person you pretend to be
I know you got struggles and your back's against the wall
When the world turns on you, I'm someone that you can call
I know you hurt don't underestimate what you're worth
It's like a curse when you always put someone else first
You want to smile you gotta put your problems under the dirt
Be careful who you love 'cause I can make you hurt much worse
You deserve to be a queen, deserve to be a king
Deserve to feel all the things that real love brings
You gon' get done wrong by the ones you done right
Hold on and everything'll be alright just

Never give up, never give in
When you get knocked down, get back up again
Never lose faith, never give up on a dream
Never let the world tell you who you gonna be
Don't be afraid to fly through the rain
Through the clouds that storm my brain
Don't be afraid to fly one day
We're gonna soar, let's spread your wings

I struggle through grade school they told me I ain't cool
Picked on a high school no wonder I hate dudes
I watched i-love-you's turn into hate-you's
Me and my guitar I knew one day I'd break through
So now when I make moves I do it in god's name
Inside I'm still the girl that [?] at the ball games
Really we [?] into dark days
I almost gave up when I was walking those hallways
Don't focus on the rumors just focus on what you know
When the concrete cracks a rose gon' grow
You gon' get done wrong by the ones you done right
Hold on and everything'll be alright just

Never give up, never give in
When you get knocked down, get back up again
Never lose faith, never give up on a dream
Never let the world tell you who you gonna be
Don't be afraid to fly through the rain
Through the clouds that storm my brain
Don't be afraid to fly one day
We're gonna soar, let's spread your wings

Looking back on everything I wouldn't change anything
I'm proud of the person that I'm grown up to be
And even though it was hard, and my past full of scars
I'm living my dream, baby, take it from me

Never give up, never give in
When you get knocked down, get back up again
Never lose faith, never give up on a dream
Never let the world tell you who you gonna be
Don't be afraid to fly through the rain
Through the clouds that storm my brain
Don't be afraid to fly one day
We're gonna soar, let's spread your wings
