I was scared half to death I couldn't catch my breath 'Cause that old tree down by the river Was thirty feet high That's when I heard my daddy's voice He said son you've got a choice You can climb down now Or you can fly
This ain't no time to be afraid Or look the other way If your prayers have all been prayed Then you just let it come what may If you're not brave enough to try Then life will pass you by All we have is today There ain't no time to be afraid
At the altar my best man Said since I am your friend It's my job to inform you It's not to late run She was comin' down the aisle All I could do was smile I whispered no my friend I'm sure I found the one
This ain't no time to be afraid Or look the other way If your prayers have all been prayed Then you just let it come what may If you're not brave enough to try Love will pass you by All we have is today There ain't no time to be afraid
Keep your faith when you're out there all alone When you're faced with your fears just walk on
I was scared half to death 'Till he took his first breath He was kickin' and a screamin' Lord I loved that sound With a house way too small A stack of bills too tall I thought only one thing really matters now
This ain't no time to be afraid Or look the other way If your prayers have all been prayed Then you just let it come what may If you're not brave enough to try Life will pass you by From the cradle to the grave There ain't no time to be afraid
All we have is today There ain't no time to be afraid
