Don’t Be Afraid

 

Don’t be afraid to fall

Wise wielder of Light

For to fall 

Is to fly

Is to be reborn

And through rebirth 

The world shall be saved

Take the plunge

Hold your Light high

And don’t be afraid to fall


Don’t be afraid to rise

Lost king of Men

The darkness is closing

The night is falling

And you hold the strength

The star

The sword

To fight

Shoulder your burden

Lift your head

And don’t be afraid to rise


Don’t be afraid to die

Mighty Son of Gondor

Your lust smothers you

The grasping tentacles of evil

Are reaching for you

But through death 

You will be free

Save the Little Ones

Make your sacrifice

And don’t be afraid to die

 
Don’t be afraid to trust

Gruff warrior of the Mountains

You fear the differences

Race and people

Is a barrier you hesitate to cross

But the Firstborn at your side

Would fall defending you

And you for him

Open your heart

Open your mind

And don’t be afraid to trust


Don’t be afraid to fight

Fair Prince of Mirkwood

You would rather be

Among the trees

Watching the river

Climbing and singing

But now is the time to defend

Your way of life

Raise your bow

Seize your courage

And don’t be afraid to fight
 

Don’t be afraid to ride

Brave child of the Shire

You are needed

Though the Big People

Admit it not

The Lady will call for you

In the last desperate hour

Pick up your sword

Become the Magnificent

And don’t be afraid to ride


Don’t be afraid to look

Curious innocent of the West

The portal falls open

Right before your eyes

Glance into despair

And through this

The key will be revealed

Gaze into the Eye

Bear up the Stone

And don’t be afraid to look


Don’t be afraid to persevere

Steadfast servant of the Ringbearer

Tragedy is upon you

Horror drags down your feet

But you must continue

To the heart of evil

You must endure 

For master

Lift up the Sting

Carry the precious burden

And don’t be afraid to persevere


Don’t be afraid to depend

Lonely bearer of sorrows

You feel a need

To stand on your own

But the Fire makes you weaker

A pillar of strength walks at your side

He will bear the toil with you

Lean on his shoulder

Stand on your rock

And don’t be afraid to depend
 

Don’t be afraid to fly

Noble fellowship of brothers

The cavern yawns at your feet

You stand on the brink of disaster 

Together

As one

Either bridge the gap

Or all shall plummet to destruction

Raise your eyes

Let your hearts soar
 

And don’t be afraid to fly…
