The fear

Just look what's happening everywhere
The terrorists at will
Are targeting without a thought
Their object just to kill

They're murdering whoever 's there
It doesn't matter who
Men, women and children
To them, any soul will do

So can you blame the people who
Have seen this all before
No matter where they are
They fear it landing at their door

And then they start to think the worse
Till it effects each day
And also ruins any thoughts
They had of going away

They're thinking of what if they come
And do it in this place
They're doing it almost everywhere
To every other race

Why go outside, why take a chance
Today, us, it could be
And all those hours in the day
With some we may not see

Will we be safe, If we don't move
Do these four walls protect
Will putting our heads down keep us
From fears that we suspect

Those thoughts of what could happen
Keep us lying in our bed
An overwhelming feeling
That we may just end up dead

These fears are so irrational
The chances are so rare
But that just doesn't register
To people everywhere

The only thing that's on their minds
Is worry and bad thoughts
Of what could happen to us
If surrounded by gunshots

We shouldn't let that fear control
We've our own lives to save
Don't let it stop the things we do
Or change how we behave

To let it in means they have won
From many miles away
But not if you just live your lives
And wear a smile each day
