Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
For the one who's searching in the dark
Or the one whose world just fell apart
For the one pulled over in your car
Don't be afraid
For the one who's praying through the night
Or the one who's waiting for the light
Anyone who's worn out from the fight
Don't be afraid
Don't be
Don't be
Don't be
Don't be afraid
Don't be
Don't be
You gave Him your heart
He's keeping it safe
When you're in the dark
Caught up in the fray
Wherever you are
Whatever you face
You're held in the arms
That nothing can break
So don't be afraid
For the one who keeps it all inside
Or the one who says, No, I'm just fine
For the one who hurts too much to cry
Don't be afraid - For the one who knows but will not say
Or the one who's blinded by the pain
Anyone just trying to be brave
Don't be afraid
Don't be
Don't be
Don't be
Don't be afraid
Don't be
Don't be
You gave Him your heart
He's keeping it safe
When you're in the dark
Caught up in the fray
Wherever you are
Whatever you face
You're held in the arms
That nothing can break
So don't be afraid
Don't be
Don't be afraid
Don't be
Don't be afraid
Don't lose faith
Don't lose heart
He is with you wherever you are
Don't give up
When you fall apart
He is with you
You gave Him your heart
He's keeping it safe
When you're in the dark
Caught up in the fray
Wherever you are
Whatever you face
You're held in the arms
That nothing can break
So don't be afraid
Don't lose faith
Don't lose heart
He is with you wherever you are
Don't give up
When you fall apart
He is with you
So don't be afraid
Don't be
Don't be afraid
Don't be
Don't be afraid
