[Verse 1]
Was I a model student
For fear of classroom ridicule?
Would I’ve been pupil-diligent otherwise?
Was grit-teeth people pleaser
For fear of social media?
Would I’ve played like-for-like games otherwise?
[Verse 2]
To care about my neighbour
Do I need fear of covid?
Would I bother say hello otherwise?
To never steal or exploit
Do I need fear of prison?
Would I be model citizen otherwise?
[Chorus]
When want will be enough
Fearful replace with love
No more need big stick motivation
[Verse 3]
To never extramarital
Need fear of social censorship?
Would I maintain fidelity otherwise?
To resist base indulgence
Do I need fear of consequence?
Would I choose control senses otherwise?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
To try avoid insecticide
Do I need fear bad karma?
Would I pursue ahimsa otherwise?
Do I observe abstinence
For fear of birth-samsara?
Suppress natural appetite otherwise?
[Repeat Chorus]
