Fear

Paddy Casey

Well, I'm scared for my child, Lord, for her mother
For what you people wanna do to one another
For the water, for the trees
Man, I'm scared of pollution, well, of disease

And I'm scared that my child won't live a long time
With your murderin', rape and your drug money crime
And I'm scared of the drugs stealing youth from the young
Well, their life story, well, that'll never be sung

Well, I pray my child lives happy and long, Lord
And I hope she never will sing this song
And I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord
And I hope she never will sing this song

Well as some men talk of peace now, good intentions
I'm only gonna look at his latest inventions
And I hope I'm wrong, heard I'm right
Well, he could end it all tonight

Man I know upon this night another village is burning
Child lose their life as their first sun is turning
Leaders of holocaust stand so tall
Man it looks like there ain't no value on life at all

Well, I pray my child will live happy and long, Lord
My hope she never will sing this song
And I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord
And I hope she never will sing this song

So Lord please forgive me if my fear offend now
It's just so hard to transcend now
'Cause when I ran away from my bad dream
And the child inside was too scared and screamed

So Lord please forgive me if my fear offend now
It's just so hard to transcend now
'Cause when I ran away from my bad dream
And the child inside was too scared and screamed

Well, I pray my child will live happy and long, Lord
And I hope she never will sing this song
Well, I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord
And I hope she never will sing this song
