Malinda Fearless Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little girl, never left behind
But always the last in line
The run in her stockings covered more
Distance than she did

Get in with the girls on the playground
Speak up, but her voice was tied down
Tied to a red CD
Listening to Paul McCartney
Thinking when I'm 64
Maybe I'll be

[Chorus]
Fearless
I'll be fearless
I will be fearless
I will be
Strong enough to cry out
With the clearest parts of me
Fearless
I'll be fearless
How hard can that be?

[Verse 2]
Turning around, she found that she
Was growing up a leading lady
Improvising daily
The steps ahead

With a little willingness
And a hot-headed innocence
She turned her walk into a dance
And found the right to significance

And to the mirror quietly
She said "come on and see me” be

[Chorus]
Fearless
I'll be fearless I will be fearless
I will be
Strong enough to cry out
With the clearest parts of me
Fearless
I'll be fearless

[Post-Chorus]
I know I will be
Oh ooh

[Bridge]
Reality is hard to please
And one day it knocked her to her knees
Weight on her shoulders
Could've sunken whole ships
Far from the life she'd been hoping
Chin up, but her chest cracked open
Things she'd always known
Had left her quite alone
Lost without a guarantee
In a world that still asked her to be
Fearless

Finding faith in simplicity
Letting go of certainty
Taking time to let life float on by
Making room to try again
To be

[Chorus]
Fearless
Fearless
I will be fearless (I will)
I will be
Strong enough to cry out
With the clearest parts of me
Fearless
I'll be fearless

[Outro]
I will be
