I watched a man tell his boy
About the pains of reality
Then I watched that child grow into a soldier
Defending contradictions and paving the way...

Who put the fear in here?

I watched a miracle in the making
Then had a scientist tell me that I
Couldn't live without breaking
My habits of fearlessness and crying for the world...

Who put the fear in here?
Was it you, who finally shed the tear?

Someone told me that two lovers bound
Could put another sun in the sky
If you believed it, there'd be
Twice the light and no one would be scared to fly

If I believed it, there'd be
Twice the light and no one would be scared to fly

I thought I knew exactly what scared me
And I would never have to run again
So I went to sleep and began dreaming
Of perfect lives in paradise
Woke up and started screaming...

Who put the fear in here?
Who put the fear in here? On, no...
Was it you who finally shed the tear?
Then who put the fear in here?
