              C                G
I believe in mistakes and accidents
                    Am                   G
That the nature of life is chaos and confusion
                     C                      G
That man's rules of law and order may not stand
                        Em
And I should be and be not afraid
                  C D G
to reach for he-heaven

I may think that I know the true hearts needs
My pride may bring me low, unable to see
No closer than yesterday, but tomorrow I may stand
Be and be not afraid to reach for heaven

I'll see the black eyed cavalcade,
lights on in the morn
I'll run fast and far away,
I'll run without stopping
Till heart and feet fail or until I can stand
Be and be not afraid
Be and be not afraid
Be and be not afraid to reach for heaven
