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 Thus I am making this oath, I will NOT just stand by
