Not Afraid of the Dark
by Carrollton

Album: Carrollton

Verse 1
I'm not afraid of the dark, but I used to be
That little kid hiding under covers every time the lights turned out
That was then, this is now, and the monsters ain't in the closet
The stuff that scares me most is hiding right outside my front door

Chorus
'Cause I've grown up and gotten stronger but my problems got bigger too
As days go by, I'm brought to realize that I'll never stop needing You
So I bow my head and say my prayers, I'm asking You for strength
I can't make it on my own, there ain't no way

Verse 2
I used to run away from home, when life got too hard
Retreat to that tree line down the road under a night sky full of stars
Man, I've come so far, I don't even live in that house anymore
But if I'm being honest, I'm still running in my heart

Chorus
'Cause I've grown up and gotten stronger but my problems got bigger too
As days go by, I'm brought to realize that I'll never stop needing You
So I bow my head and say my prayers, I'm asking You for strength
I can't make it on my own, there ain't no way
Ooh, Father
Father

Bridge
And all those nights, You held me tight
I still need to feel You near me
And all those days I ran away
You were right there waiting on me
You were right there waiting on me

Chorus
'Cause I've grown up and gotten stronger but my problems got bigger too
As days go by, I'm brought to realize that I'll never stop needing You
So I bow my head and say my prayers, I'm asking You for strength
I can't make it on my own, there ain't no way

Outro
I'm not afraid of the dark, but I used to be
