Ben Harper's "Glory & Consequence"

I'm really identifying with the lyrics of this song by Ben Harper. Take for instance this line: "I'm not as scared of dying as I am of growing old." So apt to my current disposition.

"Glory & Consequence" -- Ben Harper

I'm more afraid of living
than I am scared to die
I'm more afraid of falling
than I am of flying high

Every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

I'm more afraid of loving
than I am of being scorned
but I will keep on trying
though I have been forewarned

Every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

I would rather me be lonely
and you have someone to hold
I'm not as scared of dying
as I am of growing old.

Every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

You can watch a YouTube video of Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals performing it live, here.
