Verse 1:
       Ab
Today I woke from a dream
      Ab
Self-imposed suffering
     Gb          G7        Db                 Ab
I was clawing my way up the red clay mountain
                        Ab                    Gb
Blistering sun, my sweat soaking my clothing
           G7     Db              Ab
Questioned myself, why keep going?
                     Ab
Over my shoulder were towering trees
     Gb        G7     Db
Their bustling branches summoning me
    Ab             Ab            Gb
To a parallel trail not so steep
         G7     Db
Offering shelter, offering ease

Verse 2:
    Ab                     Ab                 Gb
So I take a deep breath and turn to be brave
            G7      Db             Ab
Harvest the fruits of being afraid
                      Ab                Gb
Take a deep breath and turn to be brave

Harvest the fruits of being afraid

Harvest the fruits of being afraid

We don’t have to do this the hard way
