Walk Unafraid - Live From John Peel Public Session On BBC Radio 1 / 1998

[Intro]
We're gonna do a couple more songs
This is my favorite song off the new record
It's called "Walk Unafraid", here we go

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chrous 1]
But somewhere there I lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path thеy've laid
They claim to

[Chorus]
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instеad
Hold my love me or leave me high

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and

[Chorus]
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me high

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when I fall to

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Thank you
I just did that thing where you have to throw up in your mouth and swallow it
That's really unpleasant
Thought I'd share it with the nation
Thank you
