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
