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 |
