No Fear

No fear (4x), no more fear
No fear (4x), no more fear
No more fear mongering in politics
That's the oldest trick in the book
No more thinking everybody's a terrorist
Just because of the way they look
No fear (4x), no more fear
No fear (4x), no more fear
When I walk on down the street
Try to give love and respect to everybody I meet
Not like what you see on TV
Which is usually the worst of humanity
No fear (4x), no more fear
No fear (4x), no more fear
Hate begets hate and love begets love
That's why it matters what you're thinking of
If you project fear that's what I'll feel
Emotions are things that become real

No fear (4x), no more fear
No fear (4x), no more fear

Just Different

Not good, not bad, just different
Not black, not white, there’s a whole spectrum, of light
Not wrong, not right, it’s not that simple
The internet opened up a whole can of worms
And we just gotta let it unfurl ..the way it goes
It’s changing the world, for better or worse
For better, for better AND worse
Not good, not bad, just different
Not just black and white, there’s a whole spectrum, of light
Not wrong, not right, it’s complicated
Some people are saying that it’s really bad, they are scared and I’m kinda glad
Maybe this past presidential election will teach the whole system a lesson that,
Desperately needed to happen ‘cause it was so broken for so many people who just got forgotten, swept under the rug, like they were never enough,
Like they were never enough
Not good, not bad, just different
Not just black and white, there’s a whole spectrum, of light
Not wrong, not right, it’s not that simple
It’s shitty to be dismissive, without understanding
It’s easy to not even listen, maintain your ignorant bliss but,
If we just open our eyes and open our minds, this world might be a lot better if we just realize,
That it’s ..
Not good, not bad, just different
Not just black and white, there’s a whole spectrum, of light
Not wrong, not right, it’s complicated
The people in power, they just don’t get it
Everything they do exposes how little they know about it
This world is changing at such a rapid pace
If you don’t get it, get outta the way
You’re just slowing us down down down with that close-mindedness
Nowhere to go but up
Not good, not bad, just different
Not just black and white, there’s a whole spectrum, of light
Not wrong, not right, it’s not that simple
It’s real complicated but we can be peaceful
Accept and celebrate our different cultures
I’ve seen rich kids from the city, I’ve seen poor kids from the suburbs
We can learn from each other, and not be so stubborn

Life Is Short

Life is so short that, sometimes you don’t get to say goodbye
Why can't we just tell each other how much we appreciate one another while we're still alive?
So what if you’re a straight guy, with another guy
You can still tell him that you love him
What is that fear is it just an antiquated homophobia?
Yup
Are you afraid of intimacy and commitment?
Just like me?
You’ve got nothing to fear, it’s all in your head my dear,
A figment of your imagination
We’ve lost too many legends
This year alone
Which means I won’t get to meet
Some of my heroes
That is ok with me, I don’t mind
So long as I get to learn something from their time on this earth
So it’s worth something, to someone
I've lost too many friends, some wound up dead, I never got to say goodbye
This one’s for them, because life is too short to hold grudges, it makes you realize
Just how petty, all of our grievances are, how much better life is for us
We’ve come so far, from our cavemen ancestors, now we drive in cars
But we stress ourselves with our social regard,
So silly
Life is so short that, sometimes you don’t get to say goodbye
Why can't we just tell each other how much we appreciate one another while we're still alive?
