Fear Is Easy, Love Is Hard

Turn on the T.V. for the evening news They got plenty to fear and nothing to do Another somebody who's gone too far Makes you want to put up your guard Fear is easy, love is hard So we draw up another dividing line We label each other and we choose a side Peace could come at quite a cost So we won't build a bridge across Fear is easy, but love is hard Fear will leave you hiding in the dark But love will bring a light into your heart So do not be afraid, do not be afraid I'm sorry baby is what he should've said But she wouldn't listen even if he did They'll die without forgiveness soon But no one wants to make a move When fear is easy and love is hard Fear will leave you hiding in the dark But love will bring a light into your heart So do not be afraid, do not be afraid It's hard to bring your heart to a world that can break it To offer love to those you're afraid will forsake it But a well-defended heart is always looking for a fight In a lonely war against an endless night But love can bring a light Fear will leave you hiding in the dark But love will bring a light into your heart So do not be afraid It comes down to a simple choice Shouting devils or a still small voice One is spreading fear and dread Oh but love has always said Do not be afraid Do not be afraid Do not be afraid Do not be afraid
