Nelly Furtado – Afraid
What they say what they say what they say (x2)
You speak out all you feel is defiance
All you need is some self-reliance
‘cause this world is gonna always try us
And all you wanted was to run for cover
Well hereâs looking to your self and no other
Weâre all searching for that special something
And we keep on running
We all have the choice to take the lead or follow
I want to feel the light shine on me
Chorus:
So afraid of what people might say
But thatâs okay because youâre only human
So afraid of what people might say
But thatâs okay youâll soon get strong enough
So afraid of what people might say
But thatâs okay ‘cause youâre only human
So afraid of what people might say youâre going to break
so please donât do it
You wanna spread your wings but youâre not sure
Donât wanna leave your comforts
Wanna find a cure
Weâre afraid of who we see in the mirror
We wanna let go but it feels too pure
Who wants to be alone in this world
You look around and all you see is hurt
But the light it always finds us
If we move with a little trust
We all have the choice to take the lead or follow
I want to feel the light shine on me
(Chorus)
A diamond donât define what shine is
I donât need a Rolex to know what the time is
You got yours let me find what mine is
Iâm a survivor look how strong my mind is
I stand on my own itâs all me
Regardless of whatever they call me
Iâm a leader not a follower
And Iâd rather be paid and popular
Ride homie get your dollars up
Weâre in the belly of the beast that already swallowed us
Is the end of the world and we know it x2
(Chorus)
Mode: I’m a leader not a follower
