Imagined Danger Lyrics

On a cold morning early in November
I was born beneath the Mighty Tree
Whenever I felt I couldn't be my own defender
My mother whispered softly to me

Life is what you make of it
Life is what you take from it
Life is what you make of this life

When I don't know how to carry on I'll remember this
When it almost breaks me down

It's just imagined danger
Passing through
Like one forgotten stranger
Calling out to you
First you do, then you don't, then you will or you won't
It's just imagined danger
Keeping me from the truth

On a black evening late in December
Head in hands I kneeled down to pray
In that moment that I almost surrendered
I could still hear my mother say

When I can't make up my mind I know I'll remember this
When it almost breaks me down

It's just imagined danger
Passing through
Like one forgotten stranger
Calling out to you
First you laugh, then you cry, then you live or you die
It's just imagined danger
Keeping me from the truth

When I don't know who I am at all I'll remember this
When it almost breaks me down

It's just imagined danger
Passing through
Like one forgotten stranger
Calling out to you
First you go, then you stay, tomorrow or today
It's just imagined danger
Keeping me
It's just imagined danger
Passing through
It's just imagined danger
Coming back to you

First you do, then you don't, then you will or you won't
It's just imagined danger
Keeping me from the truth
