In evenings cold
Where emptiness makes you feel old
It's night rain against your windowpane
That starts you thinkin' about
The bygone days

Once in some past yesterday
Where all you knew was children's play
In your fondest memories
Was it just a laughing moment in your wide-eyed fantasies

Don't be afraid
Of what's to come
We're not here forever

Lift your face
Look towards the sun
It's sure to set for everyone

Cryin' about what's gone away
You can't keep burning bridges
With hopes that fall astray
It's not a matter of time before your life will fall in line
Don't you know you've got to try

Love and life are two things that come and go
And in the end there may not be that much there left to show
But you must understand
It's all some kind of crazy plan
You and I are all we need to get us by

Don't be afraid
Of what's to come
We're not here forever

Lift your face
Look towards the sun
It's sure to set for everyone

Don't be afraid
Of what's to come
We're not here forever

Lift your face
Look towards the sun
It's sure to set for everyone

Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
