Walk Unafraid
---R.E.M.


As the sun comes up, as the moon
goes down
these heavy notions creep around.
It makes me think...


Long ago I was brought into
this life a little lamb,
a little lamb,
courageous, stumbling
fearless was my middle name.
But somewhere there I
lost my way. Everyone walks the same
expecting me to step
the narrow path they've laid.
They claim to
walk unafraid.
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high.

Say "keep within the boundaries if you want
to play."
Say "contradiction only makes it harder."
How can I be
what I want to be?
when all I want to do is strip away
these stilled constraints
and crush this charade
shred this sad masquerade.
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high.

If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye.
Look me in the eye
and if you see familiarity
then celebrate the contradiction
help me when I fall to
walk unafraid.
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high.
Walk unafraid.
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high.
