Lyrics
Don't Fear Love
Copyright © 2000
Words/music by Bruce Edwin
We're all a little rough - along the edges;
A little lazy it's easy to hide.
Come on out into the open;
Emerge and give love a try.
Giving up of self to love another -
It's worth the effort; it's worth the pain.
Taking the time to love another -
It's worth the effort; it's worth the gain.
Don't fear love - have the courage to love -
Believe in love - don't fear love-
No, no, no, no - believe in love - don't fear love.
Love lives within us -
Stir it up; don't let it die.
Surrender to a higher power;
Extend yourself and give love a try.
Don't fear love - have the courage to love -
Believe in love - don't fear love-
No, no, no, no - believe in love - don't fear love.
And there's no easy way out for doing what's right.
So, don't give up; don't ever give up.
You've got to put up a fight - yes, you do you know -
You gotta do what's right.
We're all a little rough - along the edges;
A little lazy it's easy to hide.
Come on out into the open;
Emerge and give love a try.
And don't fear love - have the courage to love -
Believe in love - don't fear love -
No, no, no, no, no - believe in love - don't fear love.
