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 other 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 all the 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, 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

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 change-ables
You are you and that's the only thing I know that's true

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
