Afraid of Love

from Force Field for Good by Barry Lane

lyrics

Afraid of love,
in love with fear,
sad hearts live alone
in stony towers,
but love shines on
through all the years
one by one
the hearts
they start to flower.

His name was Xenophobia
He lived north of Morovia,
he was afraid of
everyone in town.Her name was Xenophilia
she worked in memorabilia,
she smiled and laughed
at everyone around.

Afraid of love,
in love with fear,
sad hearts live alone
in stony towers,
but love shines on
through all the years
one by one
the hearts
they start to flower.

He met her at the grocery store,
standing by the freezer door,
He didn’t like the way she smiled at him.

He tried to look away from her,
Then everything became a blur,
he couldn’t be the person he had been.

Afraid of love,
In love with fear,
sad hearts live alone
In stony towers,
but love shines on
through all the years
one by one
the hearts
they start to flower.Darkness always shatters with the light.
Day will always cover up the night.
Hope will always drown out all sad.
Good will always swallow up the bad.

They married in the marketplace
and gave hope to the human race
some people laughed,
and other people cried.
It’s hard to know just what to say,
when all the hate has gone away,
and this new love
will never be denied.

Darkness always shatters with the light.
Day will always cover up the night.
Hope will always drown out all sad.
Good will always swallow up the bad.

Afraid of love,
in love with fear,
sad hearts live alone
in stony towers,
but love shines on,
through all the years,

One by one
the hearts
they start to flower.

One by one
the hearts
they start to flower.

One by one
the hearts
they start to flower.

Barry Lane Vermont

I write songs about kindness for children and songs about hope and justice for adults.

I love Pete Seeger, and believe, as he did, that a single song can help change the world by uniting hearts and minds.


We are the mixed fruit of one tree,

Live in peace and unity.

Forget the old
embrace the new,

Less me, me, me,
more

You, you, you.

For now is the New Day. ... more
