When I was a child My nerves ran wild When I watched my friends ride to the tops of the trees With the risk of fall I never climbed at all Every day I told myself, "I'm not ready" My daddy always said, "Nothing worth doing comes easy" Time is not your friend Time is not your remedy No amount of waiting will make you, make you brave No amount of fear will keep you No amount of fear will keep you safe ♪ The older I get, the more fears I collect I gather them from all the people I meet Their stories reveal regrets their smiles can't conceal I carry them I carry them with me My daddy always says, "Nothing worth doing comes easy" Time is not your friend Time is not your remedy No amount of waiting will make you, make you brave No amount of fear will keep you No amount of fear will keep you safe ♪ What if the steps I take, turn out to be mistakes? How can somebody like me learn to say? "Come what may" "Come what may" "Come what may" "Come what may" "Come what may" "Come what may" My daddy always say, "Nothing worth doing comes easy" Time is not your friend Time is not your remedy No amount of waiting will make you, make you brave No amount of fear will keep you No amount of fear will keep you safe No amount of fear will keep you safe Your fears won't keep you safe
