Fears We Hold

ABOUT THE SONG:
This song follows lead singer Ian's personal journey about the anxiety he's dealt with around having been born with no thumb nor ear on his right side. The song is written in the perspective of Ian going back to his younger self to tell himself that life will be great and the most important thing to ensure that, is to let things go and embrace what makes him different. Humans seem to often subconciously favor hanging onto negative feelings when we should all just try let go and embrace our differences. It's a song all about embracing what makes us all unique, and no longer believing the false-narrative we often create in our own minds about the people around us not accepting those differences.

lyrics

Take my hand
walk with me
I’ll show you something
you won’t believe

Give me your worst
How bad could it be
I need you to see
the human in me

Someday you will find
The world is bright
And those living their lives
Are not out to get you

I’ll lend you my heart
The soles of my feet
I’ve walked through the valley of some false belief
that the world was against me

So pull back your hair
And roll up your sleeves
Cause nobody cares
Or sees what you see

Someday you will find
The world is bright
No one’s out to get you

Just let go
Of the fears you’re holding onto
We both know It’s been years
where have you gone to

Just let go
Just let go
Just let go
Just let go

You won’t even know ‘till you try
You won’t even know ‘till you try to let go
You won’t even know ‘till you try
You won’t even know ‘till you try to let go

When your whole world comes undone
And you feel you can’t outrun
I’ll pull you through
To a place where self-doubt won’t reach you
