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