We Are Not Afraid
Embracing Fearlessness: Midnight Oil's Anthem of Courage
Lyrics
There's a dark cloud on the horizon
There is a looming threat or challenge on the horizon.
And it's coming closer every day
The threat is approaching and getting closer with each passing day.
No one, no one understands why it's happening
No one comprehends the reason or cause behind the impending threat.
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Expressing a sense of concern or distress through vocalization.
Oh, oh, oh-oh
-We are not afraid
Despite the imminent threat, there is a declaration of fearlessness.
Sometimes, huh, nightmares get inside our heads
Nightmares can infiltrate our thoughts and minds.
Too much grasping madness, reaching everywhere
The pervasive madness is spreading everywhere, causing distress.
Waking up a world of fears
Awakening to a world filled with fears and anxieties.
Yet darkness lifts
Despite the darkness, there is a lifting of the gloom.
The way ahead is clear, oh-oh
The path forward becomes clear and unobstructed.
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Reiteration of a sense of concern or distress through vocalization.
Oh, oh, oh-oh
-We are not afraid
Reaffirmation of fearlessness in the face of the impending threat.
The rights of those that follow
Emphasizing the importance of the rights of future generations and the ecosystem over the biases of current leaders.
And the living things that feed us
-Are greater than the prejudice of those who lead us
-We must be fearless, we must be fearless
Stressing the need for courage and fearlessness in standing up for these rights.
The rights of those that follow
Reiteration of the importance of rights and the call for fearlessness in the face of leadership principles.
And the living things that feed us
-Are greater than the principles of those who lead us
-We must be fearless, we must be fearless
-Oh, oh, oh-oh
Repetition of the call for fearlessness, emphasizing its significance.
Oh, oh, oh-oh (we must be fearless, we must be fearless)
-We are not afraid
A final declaration of not succumbing to fear in the face of the impending challenge.
We are not afraid
