[Verse 1]

When I was a child

My nerves ran wild

When I watched my friends

Rise to the tops of the trees

With the risk of fall

I never climbed at all

Every day I told myself

"I'm not ready"

[Chorus]

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 you

Make you brave

No amount of fear will keep you

No amount of fear will keep you safe

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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 you

Make you brave

No amount of fear will keep you

No amount of fear will keep you safe

[Bridge]

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"

"Come what may" (Come what may)

"Come what may" (Come what may)

"Come what may" (Come what may)

[Chorus]

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 you

Make you brave

No amount of fear will keep you

No amount of fear will keep you safe

No amount of fear will keep you safe

Your fears won't keep you safe
