Once I was on my own and falling Once I was all alone and calling For someone, anyone today To help me just a little on my way And then I took a look around And I saw the love that surrounded me I knew that it was up to me To cast off all the fears that bound me Ah, to cast off all the fears that bound me You'll find you can't go on depending On ways to help you in defending Your reasons for being who you are And asking for that lightest, brightest star I thought that all I had to do Was believe in the things that were true to me And let it happen naturally And cast off all the fears that bound me Ah, to cast off all the fears that bound me I thought that all I had to do Was believe in the things that were true to me And let it happen naturally And cast off all the fears that bound me Ah, to cast off all the fears that bound me Ah, to cast off all the fears that bound me Ah, to cast off all the fears that bound me Ah, to cast off all the fears that bound me
