Not Afraid Tonight

A hundred forms of fear, choked me as a boy
Afraid there's never enough, love, cookies or toys

And that pretty girls eyes
Will they ever fall on me
Never in my life
Have I ever gone to bed not afraid

A thousand forms of fear
Chased me as a man
Their voices got louder and louder
I can't turn down the band

And that pretty girls arms
Will they ever wrap around me
Never in my life
Have I ever gone to bed not afraid

Until tonight, when I walked out all alone into the dark
Where the Alabama stars, and God’s lovin arms held me tight
And for the first time in my life, I am not afraid tonight

Today I sat in a room, full of human beings
We were all chasing lions and tigers, that none of us could see

And their arms and their eyes, and their hearts
Were all holding me
For the first time in my life
Nothings chasing me

Until tonight, when I walked out all alone into the dark
Where the Alabama stars, and God’s lovin arms held me tight
And for the first time in my life, I am not afraid tonight

I closed my eyes, and fell away to sleep
And all I can hear, is my own heart beat

And that pretty girl
She's waiting back in Nashville just for me
And for the first time in my life
I got all I need
And for the first time in my life
I am not afraid tonight
Thank God, I am not afraid tonight, Ohh. Ohh
