Disappear Fear Who's So Scared
Once riding in old Baltimore, head filled, heart filled with glee I saw a Baltimorean keep looking straight at me Now i was eight and very small and he was no whit bigger and so i smiled but he poked out his tongue and called me a n..er I saw the whole of Baltimore from May until December Of all the things that happened there that's all that I remember Who's so scared When I was fourteen I took a bus to San Francisco I was full of hope and joy till this girl called me a boy But I was already on my way so frightened to be gay Just like in 1942 (1492) the world screaming, "Something's wrong with you, Jew" Who's so scared But what I discover, Lover after lover There's nothing wrong with me That's just a lie by society So I start looking at the world we have And while it's not all bad, There's a lot of room for improvement People of color and the gay movement Who's so scared Won't you explain to me that pain of your life
