Fearless

Fearless

written & performed by: Elisha Alladina

 

Who I am
It ain’t a scam
Just trying to be
The best I can
In every way
It’s a brand new day
Just want to pray
Never go astray

Want to be brave
Got myself to save
Hope it’s not too late
Won’t let the guilt
Carry the weight

Need to learn
To truly live
There’s so much more
I could give
Not just exist
Learn to resist
All gone wrong while
Singing this song

Forgive me of my stress
I want to be devoid of distress
I see how I’ve been blessed
Gratitude with every breath

Woke up like this fearless
Yes I’m fearless
Damn I’m fearless
Ooh I’m fearless
Just like my mother
Like grandmother
Great grandmother-land

Only you knew how I was there
Only you saw how I was scared
Only you could see I bow to thee
Because of you I’ve relearned how to breathe

Only you understood
what they’d done to me
Only you showed me
What I’d done to me
Only you caught me
Everytime I’d bleed
Blessed me with happiness
Helped me clean my mess

Only you saw all
that was happening
Only you made sure
I lived happily
Only you told me to
Stand up to the man
Only you know the plan

Only you
Only you
Only you
I’m home
