[Intro] [strummed acoustic guitar, clean electric guitar lead] [Verse 1] [acoustic guitar, light percussion] They say I look fearless like I've got no doubt But let me tell you that's not what it's about I've been shaking, breaking, scared to the bone But I learned to walk through the fire alone [bass and drums enter] Fear's my shadow but it's not my chain I've made peace with the chaos, danced in the rain Every post, every step, every tear I've shed I face the fear but I move ahead [Chorus] [full band, driving energy] Fear ain't gonna stop me, no not today I'll feel it, I'll face it, I'll do it anyway Doubt's a whisper but my voice is loud I'll rise, I'll shine, I'll make myself proud [Verse 2] [rhythmic bass, acoustic guitar] I've been stuck, I've been lost, thought I'd never move But even in silence I was finding my groove Years of waiting but they weren't in vain It's the struggle that sharpens, that rewires the brain [drums build] I've been journaling, praying, meeting my pain Calling out demons, breaking the chains I told my inner child, hey it's your turn To play, to mess up, to live, to learn [Chorus] [full band, layered harmonies] Fear ain't gonna stop me, no not today I'll feel it, I'll face it, I'll do it anyway Doubt's a whisper but my voice is loud I'll rise, I'll shine, I'll make myself proud [Bridge] [electric guitar power chords, heavy drums] I'm done waiting for the world to see I've got all the permission I'll ever need My worth's not tied to what they think It's mine, it's solid, it'll never sink So here I am, messy and free Creative for the joy, just for me No likes, no follows, no need for applause 'Cause I'm here for my soul, I'm here for the cause [Chorus] [high energy, cymbal crashes] Fear ain't gonna stop me, no not today I'll feel it, I'll face it, I'll do it anyway Doubt's a whisper but my voice is loud I'll rise, I'll shine, I'll make myself proud [Outro] [acoustic guitar, soft electric lead] To the one who feels stuck, who's scared to start Know the fear you feel is a sign of your heart Take the step, make the leap, let the world see You're braver than you think, you're wild, you're free [final chord rings out] Fear ain't gonna stop us, no not today We'll feel it, we'll face it, we'll do it anyway
