Don't be afraid to fall
They kicked me out of the parade

I guess I had too much to see

I couldn't bend to fit myself inside the lines
And I have wasted all this time just trying

Those pretty boys and pretty girls

Live in their pretty plastic world

They're so convinced that everything is black and white
We'd be all wrong and never right

They always told us not to fight
Kept us grounded when we should be flying
Don't be afraid to fall
You know the ground is never too far from the sky

And they can have their worlds

The uni has bigger plans for you and I

So baby, hold up your head
Don't ever let 'em see you cry

I know you're caught up in a shore

And it's so hard to let it go

To lose them ask you away, see yourself behind
Deliver life of your design

To say what's really on your mind
To come out of the dark and shine

Don't be afraid to fall
You know the ground is never too far from the sky

And they can have their worlds
The uni has bigger plans for you and I

So baby, hold up your head

Don't ever let 'em see you cry

If you could only see that there is
So much more to life than this
That everything you said is beautiful
You are everything there is

Don't be afraid to fall

You know the ground is never too far from the sky

And we don't need their worlds

The uni has bigger plans for you and I

So baby, hold up your head
Don't ever let 'em see you cry

So baby, hold up your head
So baby, hold up your head

So baby, hold up your head
Don't ever let 'em see you cry
