I was scared half to death
I couldnt catch my breath
Cause that old tree down by the river
Was thirty feet high
Thats when I heard my daddys voice
He said son youve got a choice
You can climb down now
Or you can fly
This aint 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 youre not brave enough to try
Then life will pass you by
All we have is today
There aint no time to be afraid
At the altar my best man
Said since I am your friend
Its my job to inform you
Its not to late run
She was comin down the aisle
All I could do was smile
I whispered no my friend
Im sure I found the one
This aint 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 youre not brave enough to try
Love will pass you by
All we have is today
There aint no time to be afraid
Keep your faith when youre out there all alone
When youre 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 aint 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 youre not brave enough to try
Life will pass you by
From the cradle to the grave
There aint no time to be afraid
All we have is today
There aint no time to be afraid
