When I'm afraid and worried for the times ahead, and nothing that I do makes my heart feel warm,
When I'm afraid, and all the mistakes I've made are pulling me down,
They can surround me like a storm, when I'm afraid,
When I'm afraid, (when I'm afraid)
When I'm afraid.

When I'm afraid, I wish that I could run away and just find a place to hide for a little while,
When I'm afraid, I'll think about the things you've said,
They echo inside, comfort me like a little child.

I just close my eyes, say a little prayer through the night 'til the morning comes to bring a golden day,
When I'm afraid,
When I'm afraid,
When I'm afraid.

When the world comes crashing in and I feel so small, you remind me I'm not alone after all.

When I'm afraid, I think about the things you've said,
They echo inside, comfort me like a little child.

Lord, I look to you and you send me a love that's true, like the silver rain to wash my tears away when I'm afraid, (when I'm afraid)
When I'm afraid,
Oh, when I'm afraid,
When I'm afraid,
Oh, when I'm afraid.
