I'm Not Afraid 
-------------- 
 
I'm afraid of growing old I'm afraid of staying young 
        and running out of fun 
I'm afraid of photographs of mom and dad when they 
        were young 
I'm afraid of spending my life waiting for a day that 
        may never come 
I'm afraid of earthquakes hurricanes and others acts 
        of God 
I'm afraid of having kids I'm afraid there'll be no 
        world for them to live (in) 
I'm afraid of pleasing other people all the time 
I'm afraid of jealousy cupidity and all words that 
        end in "e" 
I'm afraid of madmen with bombs who think they're God 
 
But I'm not afraid I'm not afraid I'm not afraid of you 
 
I'm afraid of driving over 65 I'm afraid of flying 
        in the sky 
I'm afraid of getting out of bed and nowhere to put 
        my head 
I'm afraid of multiple choice when 'a' and 'b' and 
        'c' and 'd' are true 
I'm afraid of not being afraid 
 
But I'm not afraid I'm not afraid I'm not afraid of you 
 
You're a constant in life's stream of variables 
As sure as the sun and the moon 
You're a certain in this world of changeables 
You are you and that's the only things I know that's true 
 
But I'm not afraid I'm not afraid I'm not afraid of you 
 
I'm afraid of growing old afraid of staying young and 
        running out of fun 
afraid of photographs of mom and dad when they were young
