I'm Not Afraid Lyrics

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
I'm afraid of pleasing all the people all the time
I'm afraid of jealousy, cupidity, and all words that end in -y
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 not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of you
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid

I'm afraid of driving over 65
I'm afraid of flying in the sky
I'm afraid of getting out of bed with 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
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of you
I'm not afraid, I'm not 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
Only thing, only thing I know that's true

Oh, but I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of you
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of you.
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid

She's not afraid of Satan, despite all the scary things in this world, because God is "... 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 agree with ethical!

"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 thing I know that's true,"

this always makes me think of my best friend. those words are so spot-on when it come to him. he's the only person who's always been there for me over the years... definitely a constant in my life. i love this song. =P
