If I Weren'T Afraid

If I weren't afraid, I'd become a rainbow mule, and run through the field and eat all the sunflowers If I weren't afraid, I'd go chase all the bees out too and make them leave my forget-me-nots alone If I weren't afraid, I'd find the monster in underwater who dwells in the black and white cave If I weren't afraid, I'd touch him and hear his roar and hear it push my hair past my face If I weren't afraid, I'd take those butterflies in my stomach and cast them into the ground so they can stay there in a hole and never be found
