Scared For
I am scared for my sister
And I am scared for my brother
The world isn't kind and we hurt one another
I am scared for my brother
And I am scared for my sister
Scared since the first time that someone dismissed her
I am scared for my sister
And I am scared for my brother
That some will teach him not to respect our mother
I am scared for my brother
And I am scared for my sister
Scared that I will not trust those who have kissed her
I am scared for my sister
And I am scared for my brother
I want them to be safer than many of the others
I am scared for my brother
And I am scared for my sister
I am scared for them both, I think we all know why
But I am making this oath, I will NOT just stand by
Woke up with this in my head
