Lyrics Don't Be Afraid - 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
