🎵 “I Am Not Afraid” (By Sheryl Clyde / Thunderbird) [Verse 1] If they come in the night, if they take me down, If they put these hands in chains, drag me through the town — Hear me shout through the bars, through the silence, through the pain: You can crush my voice, but you can’t kill my name. I spoke truth to the liars, I called wolves out by name, I stood with the wounded, I burned in the flame. If you think you’ve won, think again, take a seat — I was built for war, and I rise in defeat. [Pre-Chorus] No, I’m not afraid — You can’t own the fire inside me. No, I’m not ashamed — I’m marked by the King Almighty. [Chorus] If my body is chained, let my words run free, If they silence my name, let it roar in the streets. I belong to the One who can’t be bought or sold, And His return is lightning, fire, thunder, gold! I’m not afraid — No, I’m not afraid. [Verse 2] They can tear down my posts, they can block every thread, But they can’t stop the Spirit, can’t kill what’s dead. They can frame me, shame me, parade me in court — But I stand on a Rock that can’t be torn. Every voice they silence becomes ten more awake, Every threat they whisper feeds the risk they take. I will not recant, I will not kneel — I belong to a kingdom they cannot steal. [Pre-Chorus] No, I’m not afraid — You can’t own the fire inside me. No, I’m not ashamed — I’m marked by the King Almighty. [Chorus] If my body is chained, let my words run free, If they silence my name, let it roar in the streets. I belong to the One who can’t be bought or sold, And His return is lightning, fire, thunder, gold! I’m not afraid — No, I’m not afraid. [Bridge] You can take the flesh, but you can’t take the flame, You can drag me out, but you’ll remember my name. You can break the bones, but the Spirit stays — I’m already free in a thousand ways! [Final Chorus] If my body is chained, let my words run free, If they silence my name, let it roar in the streets. I belong to the One who can’t be bought or sold, And His return is lightning, fire, thunder, gold! I’m not afraid — No, I’m not afraid. [Outro] I belong to the King. I belong to the King. I’m not afraid. I’m not afraid.
