Leonard Albert "Lenny" Kravitz(born May 26, 1964) is an americanhalf-Black and of partly Jewish heritage, a singer, songwriter, record producer, and guitarist whose retroamalgam of rock, pop, funk, and even technois inspired by such music icons as Jimi Hendrixand John Lennon. Like Princeand Sly Stonebefore him, Kravitz uses a multi-ethnic, mixed-gender backing band. Kravitz plays guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, percussion, and sitar. He often plays these instruments on each recorded track, but frequently collaborates with other musicians as well when recording. His 1989 debut album "Let Love Rule" was a moderate success.

Fear Lyrics
Lenny Kravitz
I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of children who must oblige
To tainted dreams and polluted seas
The missing moon and melting trees
A mist of doom and clouds of pain
A toxic waste and an acid rain
The passing of our ignorance
A lifetime spent in abstinence
I living in fear, I living in fear
I cant tell you no lies
I living in fear, I living in fear
Conditioned to hate and them to blame
Their search for God is just the same
Machines for hearts, how warped a view
Forgeting that theyre human too
Waiting like a branded steer
Who first will launch the burning spear
When every day may be your last
You think wed learn from our past
I living in fear, I living in fear
I cant tell you no lies
I living in fear, I living in fear
Ouh yeah yeah yeah yeah
I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of so many lives denied
More wounded soldiers, another burning flag
And rows and rows of body bags
No time for tears as the night falls cold
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The day survivors crawl back in their holes
As for the rest theyre shipped back home
Home to the rows of white tomb stones
I living in fear, I living in fear
I cant tell you no, tell you no lies, yeah yeah
Fear, I living in fear
Ouh yeah yeah yeah yeah
