BE AND BE NOT AFRAID. I believe in mistakes and accidents. That the nature of life is chaos and confusion. That man's rules of law and order. May not stand. And I should be and be not afraid. To reach for heaven. I may think that I know. The true heart's needs. But my pride may bring me low. Unable to see. I'm no closer than yesterday. But tomorrow I may stand. And be and be not afraid. To reach for heaven. I'll see the black car cavalcade. Lights on in the morn. I'll run fast and far away. I'll run without stopping. 'Til hear and feet fail. Or until I can stand. And be and be not afraid. Be and be not afraid. Be and be not afraid. To reach for heaven. © 2004 Tracy Chapman
