So Afraid |
| All the kids run around playing free and fun, while the dogs lap around the can |
| Falling down, climbing trees, swimming in the river, no life jacket on their |
| backs |
| Daughters sharpen their knives and they hunt for food, others watch their |
| children grow |
| Mothers going to work and they shake the hands of a corporate tycoon’s ghost |
| And I’m afraid (ahhhh) |
| I’m so afraid (ahhhh) |
| What if I lose? |
| Is what I think to myself |
| I’m fine in my shell |
| I’m afraid of it all, afraid of loving you |
| I’m a gift and a curse to the wilderness when the leaves only turn to brown |
| The birds fly high and they wink at all of the grandmothers on the ground |
| Rain pours down in the village dens, my cousins fetch for lunch |
| While I sit in my room writing letters to my church and things and such |
| 'Cause I’m afraid (ahhhh) |
| I’m so afraid (ahhhh) |
| What if I lose? |
| Is what I think to myself |
| I’m fine in my shell |
| I’m afraid of it all, afraid of loving you |
| Cousins all in the creek |
| Riding high, ride with zeal |
| And the rain pours down, the ghetto dancin', yeah |
| I’m so afraid (ahhhh) |
| I’m so afraid (ahhhh) |
| What if I lose? |
| Is what I think to myself |
| I’m fine in my shell |
| I’m afraid of it all, afraid of loving you |
| I’m afraid, afraid of loving you |
| Cousins all in the creek |
| Riding high, ride with zeal |
| And the rain pours down, the ghetto dancin', yeah |
