Words and music by Ben Harper

I'm more afraid of living than I am scared to die.
I'm more afraid of falling than I am of flying high.

Every moral has a story and every story has an end.
Every battle has its glory and its consequence.

I'm more afraid of loving than I am of being scorned,
being scorned.
But I will keep on trying though I have been forwarned.

Every moral has a story and every story has an end.
Every battle has its glory and its consequence,
and its consequence.

I would rather me be lonely and you have someone to hold.
I'm not as scared of dying as I am of growing old.
