You think just a little different, yet I’m the one who appears distant
Sometimes I wish that I was more like you
One day we’ll be older and times like this won’t rest on our shoulders
But we must fight for a future to hold
And I’ll hold, yes I’ll hold for you
Because I’m not afraid, to hold my head up high
I’m not afraid, because I’m still alive
I’m not afraid, to understand the times
I’m not afraid, No I’m not afraid, I’m, not afraid
Even if our voices shake, and our muscles ache from the points we make
If we don’t stand, we’ll fall for anything
Don’t wait, don’t underestimate, the locus of our fate
We’re capable of changing everything
And we’ll change, we’ll change for you
Because we’re not afraid, to hold our head up high
We’re not afraid, because we’re still alive
We’re not afraid, to understand the times
We’re not afraid, No We’re not afraid, We’re, not afraid
I hope that now you’ll see, that you’re no more differ-ent than me
And all that effort spent on hate will resign
If words could change the world, what would you say to break the mould
Sometimes the truth can be too much to control
What would you say? What would you say to me?
Because I’m not afraid, to hold my head up high
I’m not afraid, because I’m still alive
I’m not afraid, to understand the times
I’m not afraid, No I’m not afraid, I’m, not afraid
