lyrics

YOUR JEWLED FOOTSTEPS

* I'm not scared to try it/I'll take it there as I find it/
I'm not scared to up & go/no, I'm not scared to follow
in yr jewled footsteps caus' you've been there - you've been there/
you help me get behind it/i'm not scared to try it .

* I'm not scared to try it/for I really don't care to live out a lie,
to be so insincere/& I'm too scared to stay where I'll wind up dead/
it blocks my head, makes me afraid .

* but I'm not scared/to walk where so many have tried & failed there/
no I'm not scared, for fear's sake/for fear of knowing heartbreak -
for yr jewled footsteps show where I'll walk can be safe/
its just a matter of trusting in some blind faith - it just is .
