So Afraid

[00:00.77] All the kids run around playing free and fun
[00:03.15] While the dogs lap around the can
[00:07.80] Falling down, climbing trees, swimming in the river
[00:10.39] No life jacket on their backs
[00:15.14] Daughters sharpen their knives and they hunt for food
[00:18.16] Others watch their children grow
[00:22.40] Mothers going to work and they shake the hands
[00:25.68] Of a corporate tycoon's ghost
[00:30.19] And I'm afraid
[00:33.01] Ah, I'm so afraid
[00:39.58] Ah, what if I lose?
[00:45.30] Is what I think to myself
[00:47.76] I'm fine in my shell
[00:51.05] I'm afraid of it all
[00:53.15] Afraid of loving you
[00:54.47] I'm a gift and a curse to the wilderness
[00:56.97] When the leaves only turn to brown
[01:01.45] The birds fly high and they wink at all
[01:04.48] Of the grandmothers on the ground
[01:09.28] Rain pours down in the village dens
[01:11.98] My cousins fetch for lunch
[01:16.74] While I sit in my room writing letters to my church
[01:20.44] And things and such
[01:24.18] 'Cause I'm afraid
[01:26.86] Ah, I'm so afraid
[01:33.53] Ah, what if I lose?
[01:39.17] Is what I think to myself
[01:42.03] I'm fine in my shell
[01:44.96] I'm afraid of it all
[01:47.11] Afraid of loving you
[01:50.78]
[02:04.27] Cousins all in the creek,
[02:06.34] Riding high, ride with zeal,
[02:11.17] And the rain pours down, ghetto dancing, yeah
[02:18.36] I'm so afraid
[02:20.42] Ah, I'm so afraid
[02:27.50] Ah, what if I lose?
[02:33.23] Is what I think to myself
[02:36.22] I'm fine in my shell
[02:39.18] I'm afraid of it all, afraid of loving you
[02:44.99]
[02:54.93] I'm afraid, afraid of loving you
[02:58.13] Cousins all in the creek,
[03:00.54] Riding high, ride with zeal,
[03:03.44] And the rain pours down, ghetto dancing, yeah
[03:07.88]
