I Am Afraid — Pete Townshend

I stand beside you I face the future I'll admit to you I am afraid I am afraid As I stand beside you I have denied you I am afraid

I am not drunk now I am not pilled down My windows wound down I am not brainwashed I am not running I am not hiding My bet's still riding I am afraid

I swing you high-o I swing you low-a I see your eye-o I see you grow-a I hear you crying Your brother's dying Be no more lying I am afraid

I am afraid As I stand beside you I have denied you I am afraid I stand beside you I face the future I'll admit to you I am afraid

By my religion I stand here naked I cannot fake it With God as witness My little children Who wait for feeding' I watch you bleeding' I am afraid

I am afraid As I stand beside you I have denied you I am afraid I stand beside you I face the future I'll admit to you I am afraid
