The Crane Wives - Keep You Safe lyrics

When I was a child, my nerves ran wild when I watched my friends rise to the tops of the trees 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, 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 said "Nothing worth doing comes easy" Time is not your friend, Time is not your remedy No amount of waiting will make, 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 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, make you brave No amount of fear will keep you No amount of fear will keep you safe
