Nothing to Fear Lyrics

[guitar solo (0:00-2:54)]

[Verse 1]
I feel your heat in dusty whispers
The wind is cold around your moon
It's getting hard to keep our distance
I know your time is coming soon
Don't point your dream on my horizon
Don't take your rose too far from home
Please don't forget we're not each other
Each soul has black thorns of his own

[Chorus]
I see you dancing
Your song is clear
You've got to show me, got to show me
There's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear

[Verse 2]
I have my loved ones you have yours
So let us gaze upon the feast
In God's own name let's eat together
In God's own name please come in peace
See how our children play together
While you and me we stand alone
I know we'll never be each other
If I leave you leave me alone
[Chorus]
I see you dancing
Your song is clear
You've got to show me, got to show me
There's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear

[Outro]
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

In an interview, Chris Rea said:

“Nothing to Fear is a song about a European guy welcoming Muslims, and the gist of the story is that if you show us we have nothing to fear, you know, there’s gonna be no problem… You know, it was once the Russians, we all had to be frightened of the Russians, then we had to be frightened of the Chinese, and at the moment, for the last year, it’s been this…”
