Fear
Fear sounds like footsteps in a dark alley.
Fear tastes like cold rice pudding
Fear feels like echoes in a cold dark place
Fear is a sight that gives you a fright.
Fear scares me.

I love the smile on your face ...
You're my baby brother
I love the smile on your face
I hope nothing will take it away
"Last night an old woman
In her house on her own
Was beaten by a group of youths
Before she could get to the phone
She died on the kitchen floor
She died all alone."
You're my baby brother
I love the smile on your face
Don't watch the news today.
"There is war in foreign lands
Two countries, side by side
Started fighting yesterday
Already hundreds have died
No-one managed to prevent it
Though every president tried."
You're my baby brother
I love the smile on your face
I'll turn off the TV now.
"Somewhere up in London
Today, there was a gang fight
Started by local tension
Between groups of blacks and whites.
More than 10 people
Will be kept in hospital tonight."
Baby, baby brother
I love the smile on your face
I want to keep it there -
How?
