I AIN'T AFRAID

I ain't afraid of your Yahweh, I ain't afraid of your Allah
I ain't afraid of your Jesus
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
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 the higher power,
Free up from fear, it will devour you
Watch out for the ego of the hour
The ones who say they know it are the ones who will impose it on you

I ain't afraid of your Yahweh, I ain't afraid of your Allah
I ain't afraid of your Jesus
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
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, hear the higher story,
Free up from the gods of war and glory
Watch out for the threat of purgatory
The spirit of the wind won't make a killing off of sin and Satan

I ain't afraid of your Bible, I ain't afraid of your Torah
I ain't afraid of your Koran
Don't let the letter of the law obscure the spirit of your love
I ain't afraid of your Sabbath, I ain't afraid of your culture
I ain't afraid of your borders
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God

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

I ain't afraid of your Yahweh, I ain't afraid of your Allah
I ain't afraid of your Jesus
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
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, hear the higher story
Free up from the gods of war and glory
Watch out for the threat of purgatory
The spirit of the wind won't make a killing off of sin and Satan

I ain't afraid ... I ain't afraid ... I ain't afraid ...
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
