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 (in)
I'm afraid of pleasing people all the time
I'm afraid of jealousy cupidity 
and all words that end in "e"
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 afraid of driving over 65
I'm afraid of flying in the sky
I'm afraid of getting out of bed
and 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 

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

(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)
