Lyrics The Doobie Brothers

The Doobie Brothers

Don't Be Afraid

Well I dreamed I was standin' in the middle of a river

Someone waited on the other side

My body shivered in the rushing icy water

I cried out but no one could hear me

I tried to swim but it was much too far

I felt a hand pull me up as I was going under

Somebody's waiting there to catch you

You don't have to be afraid now baby

Nobody really knows for sure

Just open up your heart

Don't be afraid, someone will catch you if you fall too far

Sometimes you feel like you're invisible

There's a crowd but you're all alone

Can't they see your heart is breaking

You pretend that it just doesn't matter

Try to keep smilin' baby hope against hope

Love is gonna find you and set you free

Somebody's waiting there to catch you

You don't have to be afraid now baby

Nobody really knows for sure

Just open up your heart

Don't be afraid, someone will catch you if you fall too far

Too far
