Weapon Out There Lyrics

Across the ally and down the street

They came up to me with a gun in my face

They said we’ll blow your head out of here

They took my pizza and my car

If nobody hears the shots are you still dead

Can you poke your finger inside the hole

It’s dangerous dangerous to be alone

If no one’s at home will you just go away

Sammy’s not here he cannot come out to play

If no one’s at home then you cannot stay

I am fear

I am the menace that lurks in the path of life

Never visible to the eye, but sharply felt in the heart

I am the father of despair, the brother of procrastination

The enemy of progress, the tool of tyranny

Born of ignorance and nursed on misguided thought

I have darkened more hopes, stifled more ambitions

Shattered more ideals and prevented more accomplishments than history could record

Like the changing chameleon I assume many disguises

I masquerade as caution

I am sometimes known as doubt or worry

But whatever I am called I am still fear

The obstacle of achievement

I know no master, only one, it’s name is understanding

I have no power but what the human mind gives me

And I vanish completely when the light of understanding

Reveal the facts as they really are

For I am really nothing

It is more cruel to always fear death

Than it is to die

The person who is constantly in fear is every day condemned
