i am not afraid of life

of the poor man's struggle

of the killer's knife

i am not afraid of life

of an insane rage

of the minimum wage

i am not afraid of life



i am not afraid of life

i am not afraid of life



but i see an old lady with a shopping bag

and i wonder is life a drag



i am not afraid of pain

but it hurts so bad

i feel so mad

no one see the truth

there's nothing to gain

a life goes down the drain

don't want to die at an early age



i am not afraid of life

i am not afraid of life



but i see a street crazy shivering with cold

is it a crime to be old



there's the threat of the nuclear bomb

we know it's wrong

we know it's wrong

is there a chance for peace

will the fighting ever cease

mankind's almost out of luck

a maniac could blow us up



i am not afraid of life

i am not afraid of life



but i get down on my knees and i pray

is there hope for the world today
