I’m Not Afraid

Standing on the edge

of the highest mountain

fear has no room in my heart.

I shake not, I stand still.

'Cos I'm not afraid.

I'm not afraid

in the jungle.

Kill or get killed.

Only one mission

Grant to all men.

Coward dies many times

even before his death.

For brave man is

wired with audaciousness.

For him has nothing

nothing to be afraid of.

I came alone...

alone to this world.

Governing my world.

No one has the key

The key of my joy.

If you appear in my world,

I welcome you.

If you disappear,

just like a flash of the thunder,

I care not.

'Cos I'm not afraid.

Never cry for your disappearance.

My barack never gets dried 

Just like a greenish leave.

My lake is every day filled.

You stay I live, you maroon I subsist.

'Cos I'm not afraid.
