LYRICS:
don’t be afraid
when the clouds start to drip and scream
nothing is
ever too real to be a dream
and if we can’t find a place to call our home
we’ll pick a corner of the sky just for our own
don’t be afraid
when the sky turns black and the sunlight fades away
nothing is ever so dark
to scare away the first light of day
and if your heart is just too broken, wait and see
just pick up your cross and follow me
»Pick Up Your Cross (and follow me)«
