Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am more afraid of living
Than I am scared to die
I am more afraid of falling
Than I am of flying high
[Verse 2]
Every moral has a story
And every story has an end
Every battle has its glory
And its consequence
[Verse 3]
I am more afraid of living
Than I am of being scorned, being scorned
But I will keep on trying
Though I have been forewarned
[Verse 4]
Every moral has a story
And every story has an end
Every battle has its glory
And its consequence
And its consequence
[Verse 5]
I would rather me be lonely
And you have someone to hold
I am not as scared of dying
As I am of growing old
