*:  8AA988 (=10)
 I believe in mistakes  and accidents
 That the nature of life  is caos and confusion
 That man's rules of law  and order may not stand
 And I should be and be not  afraid to reach for he-heaven

 I may think that I  know the true hearts needs
 My pride may bring  me low, unable to see
 No closer than yesterday,  but tomorrow I may stand
 Be and be not  afraid to reach for he-heaven
 
 
 
 
 I'll see the black eyed cavelcade,  lights on in the morn
 I'll run fast and far  away, I'll run without stopping
 Till heart and feet  fail or until I can stand
 Be and be not  afraid
 Be and be not  afraid
 Be and be not  afraid to reach for he-heaven
