Afraid

You stand six feet six
And we all think you have no fear
As you tower over the rest

Yet you are small inside
Fearful of the others who judge you
As you tower over the rest

Will I lose my job today?
Will I lose my wife?
Will I get hurt driving home?
Will I lose my life?

Will I be judged as a man or mouse?
Will I ever find happiness?
Will my children be proud of me?

Will people think of me when I am gone?
Will I be remembered with respect?
Will I be remembered fondly?

You stand six feet six
And you are more afraid
Than anyone could ever realize
