I Ain’t Afraid

• Words & Music: Holly Near
• Arranged by: Shereen Benjamin

1. I ain’t afraid of your Allah,
I ain’t afraid of your Yahweh,
I ain’t afraid of your Jesus,
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God.

2. I ain’t afraid of your churches,
I ain’t afraid of your temples,
I ain’t afraid of your praying,
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God.

Rise up, to your high­er power,
Free up, from fear it will devour you
Watch our for the ego of the hour,
The ones who say they know it
Are the ones who will impose it on you:

3. I ain’t afraid of your Bible,
I ain’t afraid of your Torah,
I ain’t afraid of your Qur’an,
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God

Rise up and see a high­er story,
Free up from the gods of war and glory,
Watch out for the threats of purgatory.
The spir­it of the wind won’t make a killing off of sin and satan.

4. I ain’t afraid of your Sabbath,…borders,…dances.

5. I ain’t afraid of your children,…music,…stories.
