Lyrics
Afraid of the Sting
Down by Cherry Creek
They heard a shriek
And all started to run
The air came alive
Around the hive
And ruined all your fun
Your childhood gone
You learned early on
To be afraid of the sting
Bitten by a bug
You said it was love
But venom flowed through your veins
Despite her cooked toe,
And hollow soul,
A loyal drone you remained
You tied the knot
But you forgot
To be afraid of the sting
On the run
No part unstung
Take cover my Brother
You got my back
When all’s yellow and black
Take cover my Brother
Now your little girl
Head full of curls
Needs you to be the one
You faced your fears
Chased bees from her hair
When you might have been stung
You guide her through
So she never has to
Be afraid of the sting
