Don't wanna be afraid no more Don't wanna hide behind my front door I don't wanna live in fear I want I want I want I want I want to be free Don't wanna be afraid no more Every day the sun sets and rises Every dawn a new day begins Around here we don't like surprises Terrified of exploding devices To raise our hopes and end our fears To take this land in a new direction To stop the pain and end the tears A lasting peace after all these years
