about

What was the thing that scared you most as a kid? And who helped you overcome your fears? What's the thing that scares you most as an adult? And who will help you cope when they're gone?

lyrics

When voices from the darkness speak
When monsters under your bed creep
When fear starts to slowly seep
Do not be afraid

When the walls start to close in
When strangers attack your kin
When nightmare threaten to live
Do not be afraid

You’re Buffy the vampire slayer
You’re Hans Solo and Princess Leia
You’re Indiana Jones,
You’re Lara Croft and Sherlock Holmes
You’re stronger than the strongest parts of me
Far braver than I’ll ever be
The world’s waiting at your feet
That is what you told me

When you’re running with nowhere to hide
When you feel teeth about to bit
When everyday’s a battle to survive
Do not be afraid

You’re Buffy the vampire slayer
You’re Hans Solo and Princess Leia
You’re Indiana Jones,
You’re Lara Croft and Sherlock Holmes
You’re stronger than the strongest parts of me
Far braver than I’ll ever be
The world’s waiting at your feet
That is what you told me

So I guess that makes you my Obi Wan
When you’re around I’ve no krypton
But I know one day you will be gone
And that's the thing that truly terrifies me
