Fear Lyrics by Ben Rector

Brand New

2015

[Verse 1]
Spent ten years on this pavement
And I finally caught a dream
If I'm honest it's a terrifying thing
Cause I feel crazy taking pictures
Hear a thousand people scream
This is a lot for an Oklahoma kid like me

[Chorus]
Chase me down outside of Georgia
And I was sure that I was done
Something in me would not turn around and run (yeah)
I heard the Lord in California
And I remembered who I was when I learned to dance with the fear that I'd been running from (yeah, oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
I've been scared to death of failing
Scared that I'd look like a fool
And I'd rather quit than risk that I could lose (mmm)
And I'm not proud of that position (no)
But it's the hand that I've been dealt
But as far as I'm concerned that hand can go to hell (oh, yeah)

[Chorus]
Chase me down outside of Georgia
And I was sure that I was done
Something in me would not turn around and run (oh)
I heard the Lord in California
And I remembered who I was when I learned to dance with the fear that I'd been running from (yeah, oh, yeah

[Bridge]
No I won't run away (oh-oh, oh-oh)
No I am not afraid (oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Chorus]
I was down outside of Georgia so sure that I was done
But something in me would not turn around and run
Heard the Lord in California
And I remembered who I was when I learned to dance
With the fear that I'd been running from (yeah yeah)
Learned to dance with the fear that I'd been running from
