Fear

I'd understand if you'd rather not
Talk about this
There's always a chance that we might remain
In ignorant bliss
Most of the time, we coast along
Safe from the storm
We follow our hearts, trust what feels right
Keep to the norm

We are lucky if our lives can avoid it
But fear changes all of our choices

Who will you see there in the darkness
When no one is watching?
Who will you be when you're afraid
And everything changes?
Will you see a stranger?
Feel proud or betrayed?

All of your life, guided by truth
Right from the start
Then one twist of fate in the blink of an eye
And it all falls apart
What happens then, when all that you knew
Just fades away?
When you've lost all control, you broke from your soul
And fear has its day

Will you make the right choice in that moment?
Will you stand and be brave or be broken?

We live in fear that we might fail
Fear that we'll succeed
Fear that we may not provide
The things our loved ones need
But our greatest fear will be realized
If we fall and lose ourselves to fear
We've become what we feared all our lives

Who will you see there in the darkness
When no one is watching?
Who will you be when you're afraid
And everything changes?
Will you see a stranger?
Feel proud or betrayed?
