dangerous times

afraid to hold on

afraid to let go

afraid to find out

but afraid not to know

afraid of what's broken

but still doesn't show

these are dangerous times to love

afraid of the sky

afraid of the light

afraid of the wind

that will carry the night

afraid of bad news from the satellite

these are dangerous times to love

we do not stand up together

we can't find no solid ground

all of our songs are forever

not having empty sound

afraid to hope

afraid to bleed

afraid of too much

but afraid of the need

afraid of the poisons we might seed

these are dangerous times to love

afraid to be foolish

afraid to be old

afraid of the stories

that are recklessly told

afraid we must sell what's already been sold

these are dangerous times to love

these are dangerous times to love
