Free Cee Knock Knock Who Is Fear
KNOCK-KNOCK, WHO’S FEAR?
Do you want to know what it is I hear?
It’s silence because I’ve heard it all before
Do you want to know what I really fear?
It’s nothing, because I’m used to fear knocking at my door
Knock-knock
Who’s there?
It’s fear
Well fear, get away from here
I am immune to your tired old tune
An insipid song about something or other
So next time I suggest that you try another
Since I am no longer afraid of the fright you have caused
And you no longer have the power you once possessed
So simply stop singing and give it a rest
Now, Mr. Fear, make it coherently clear What it is I should be afraid of
I don’t fear dieing and am jaded by love
And didn’t you hear that I no longer fear fear
Because fear is only fear if one lets it near
And I choose to keep fear forever at bay
As I command you, fear, to fearfully slip away
Quietly and with command over each one of your steps
I want to see fear fade far into a mist
To the darkness of winter and the sovereignty of spring
While I forget your awful and awesome offering
So if you want to know what it is that I hear
The sound that lulls me to sleep every night
It is a sound of the fading footsteps of fear
Taking with it the specter of insufferable fright
